...Washington Post and Times Herald, which runs Columnist Drew Pearson on its comic page, let him get on the editorial page last week-as the target of a devastating letter. Signed "Nostradamus" (but known to the Post, which would identify him only as "a Washington magazine editor"), the letter writer noted that Pearson was reputed to score 85% in his "predictions of things to come." By recalling the columnist's Jan. 1 predictions for 1956, Nostradamus showed that Pearson had indeed approached 85%-but wrong. Among the predictions...
...editorial hatchetmen kept swinging to the end-and even afterward. Of his assassination, the Dallas Herald wrote: "God almighty ordered this event." Houston's Tri-Weekly Telegraph crowed: "From now until God's judgment day, the minds of men will not cease to thrill at the killing of Abraham Lincoln."

The Brown Daily Herald took a very dim view of this and felt the Young Republicans should have protested the decision. But as Lewis explained, "If you are bringing a major speaker here, the University must know all about it before he can come...
...This is reflected in the fact that the radio station, which has no editorial policy and is under no visible control by the University, "feels" nevertheless that the administration is ever ready to jump in with both feet. It is also reflected in the fact that the Brown Daily Herald would speak of "apparent overtones of University Hall instigation" concerning the proposed adoption of an honor code. It is also reflected in a statement by Lewis that the administration has "a pretty tight control over everything that goes...
