...speeded up by it. Yet the problem of handling the great influx has only recently received careful study. President Truman's Commission on Higher Education, appointed in July, 1946, issued a report--the first of six--on December 15, in which it firmly faces the future of American colleges. Instead of wailing with the pessimists that schools ought to cut down to a timid pre-war level, the Commission strongly recommends that enrollment be doubled...
...Chicago's frozen Comiskey Park field, the National (pro football) League's championship was played out in sneakers instead of cleated shoes. The Chicago Cardinals ran wild in them. Halfback Elmer Angsman (ex-Notre Dame) ripped off two touchdown runs of 70 yds.; Halfback Charlie Trippi (ex-Georgia) went 44 and 75 yds.

The Cradle's stagecraft, far from seeming daring, almost seemed dated. Only where Blitzstein...

There is no "American pattern" of sexual behavior according to his findings; instead, there are differences as great as anthropologists find between the sexual patterns of different racial groups in remote parts of the world. The U.S. differences correspond roughly to educational levels. Many men who have gone to college, he finds, have kissed dozens of girls, had intercourse with none; but among males of lower educational levels, there is more intercourse, less petting...
