Case, who considers himself a conservative, is wholly committed to the belief that the U.S. should travel the "middle way" in solving its domestic and international problems. He holds that the Republican Party is the instrument to find and follow that way, "not appealing to the radicals of the left or the right." His warning: "If the needs of this country are not met by middle-of-the-road progressivism, the problems won't be met, and the time will come when only extremist solutions are possible...
...dormitories. Suddenly, on the bridge ahead, there appeared the figure of a single policeman, outlined against the dawn. 'Where do you think you guys are going?" he barked. Nobody heard, or at least nobody listened, for they continued to advance. Finally, frustrated by the incongruity of 170 red-coated, instrument-bearing Harvard bandsmen, marching irresistably in the early light, the Cornell policeman yielded, "There's over a hundred of you, and only one of me," he admitted dourly.

Touchette also brought another member into the band--his young son, who until recently was employed sitting on top of the big bass drum wielding a mammoth beater.

Soviet Tests. With their methods checked by this workout, the Japanese scientists waited for more explosions, which came fairly soon. Last Aug. 26, an electrical instrument recorded a sudden rise in atmospheric electricity north-northeast of Japan, presumably in North eastern Siberia. It was not like the rise caused by a thunderstorm, but showed the characteristic profile of an atomic explosion. Four hours later came an air wave. It was only one-sixth as strong as the waves resulting from the U.S. tests, but Dr. Miyake says this does not mean that the Soviet explosion was only one-sixth...
Fast work, patience, and binder's twine were enough to rig the ailing Harvard Band drum into shape for the game today at Cornell. When the eight foot drum nearly collapsed two days ago, undergraduate Band manager Alan S. Novick '55 feared that the decaying instrument would stay home for the first time in 27 years...
