Like most classic campaigns, Dayan's Sinai triumph rested heavily on surprise. "Nasser disposed his troops very well," said an Israeli colonel. "Egyptian preparations were quite logical. Our plans were not." But more than anything else, the Israelis, inferior to the Egyptians in number and equipment, relied on the kind of dashing, hard-driving tactics with which George Patton confounded the Germans in his 1944 armored dash across Europe. Israeli units which outran their supply continued to push forward as long as they had ammunition, and at least one battalion fought for two days without food...
...students often want to hire a big name band, which usually requires a larger sum of money. But the University feels that a big weekend doesn't necessitate a big name band, Robert Minnerly, chairman of the 1956 spring weekend, explained.

"The conclusion is inescapable that any decision to use differences of the average achievement of the two racial groups as a basis for classifying in advance any individual child, Negro or white, is scientifically unjustified...
Unfortunately some technical imperfections date the pre-war film and mar its polish. The color reproduction is inferior, and the animation cannot always respond to the musical rhythms. But these irritations are swept aside by the sheer excitement of Fantasia's experimental efforts. And, perhaps most interesting, Disney's successes and failures throughout the film raise a host of questions concerning the relationship between musical and visual...
