...true, said Pusey, that four faculty-men may have been Communists. But "what justice is done to the really typical member of the Harvard faculty, to the 2,900 or more others who are our true representatives-including the men who invented the iron lung, those on whose researches in atomic energy ... in radar and sonar ... the late military effort so largely depended; Dr. Cohn and his fractionation of blood and all the lives saved because of his researches ... or Harvard's six Nobel Prizewinners; and most important perhaps of all, the humanists whose efforts [bring] us into fresh...
diplomatic counterplay. Two weeks ago, India signed a five-year trade agreement-of unspecified amount-with Moscow, pledging to send jute products, tea, coffee, shellac and black pepper to Russia in return for 39 items, such as petroleum, "iron and steel manufactures," and "a wide range of industrial equipment."

For his part, Juscelino just wants to get on with the power and the roads. "I have signed a promissory note to the voters and I've got to pay it," he says...
...Kramer placed himself in the third category. He startled his competition and movie critics with such films as The Sniper, Champion, Cyrano de Bergerac, Home of the Brave, Member of the Wedding, High Noon. Some of these, and a few others (The Four poster, Death of a Salesman, Eight Iron Men), did poorly at the box office; nonetheless, each was a fine piece of craftsmanship...
