...current Government fiscal year, the red ink will be about $12 billion; though President Eisenhower plans to present a balanced budget to Congress for the year beginning July 1, the outlook still is for a deficit of upwards of $3 billion. This may well be trimmed as Government income rises with business. Few economists believe that inflation can be ended, barring a depression, since a rising price level has been with mankind since the dawn of time, and is almost inevitable in a dynamic economy. The problem is to keep it within bounds-under a 1½% price rise...
Lippmann scarcely notices. The coils of a creative mood have been steadily tightening since 6 o'clock, when he awakened and lay awhile in bed, reflecting. Now it is 9. In two hours or so, writing with ink in a pinched, illegible script, abbreviating wherever possible ("negotiate" becomes "nego"), he composes 750 to 1,000 carefully chosen words.

The purging of the anti-feminists is half forgotten by university administrators who are already enamored of the emerging sexless society. Today we are all egalitarians, convinced, as Mary McCarthy has put it, that women must be as badly educated as men if they are to retain their self-respect...
...with the educational honeymoon only half-over, the blushing bride is already being pushed into new adventures. The next chapter of this feminist melodrama is already being written, under a variety of titles ranging from "Red Ink," to "The Economic Noose." The Presidents' reports of the leading women's colleges are beginning to show a nasty preoccupation with money, and to call for a new heroism from their feminist supporters...
