Replying to the Englishman's charge, Kilson asserted that "things have either changed quite radically at Harvard since I left there in June, 1959, or else Mr. Hawke's information is about a decade out of date...
...details or lengthy briefings, a man who shrinks from offending a friend or customer, who agonizes over difficult decisions. In his 26 months as Defense Secretary, which began so dramatically only five days after the first Sputnik soared into history, McElroy has had a hit-or-miss record (TIME, June 22). As a salesman, succeeding rough-handed "Engine Charlie" Wilson, he did a brilliant job of persuading Congress to accept his budgets-and then some. Congress, in fact, gave him some $806 million more than he asked for. But he could not choose between proliferating, billion-dollar rival missile systems...
...Earl" Long, three-time Louisiana Governor and heir to the political dynasty founded by Brother Huey, last week slid toward oblivion as the reigning force in Louisiana politics. Barred by law from succeeding himself and harried by doctors as he was chased in and out of mental hospitals (TIME, June 15 et seq.), Ole Earl, 64, tried to get himself nominated as next Lieutenant Governor in the free-for-all primary, put a hand-picked successor in as Governor. He cagily passed a bill to change the Democratic primary date from traditional Tuesday to work-free Saturday, thus tried...

He stumped hard for his "clean" faction of the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League, which ruled Burma for eleven years. His chief opponents: party dissidents who call themselves the league...
...against reality," editorialized the Atlanta Constitution. Indeed, the city's board of education had not only faced reality but accepted it. Ordered by U.S. District Judge Frank A. Hooper to present an acceptable integration plan (TIME, June 15), the board delivered last week on schedule. Proposed: a pupil-placement plan patterned on the Alabama law, which the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled constitutional. If Judge Hooper accepts, Atlanta's 95,000 public-school students (40% Negro) will be integrated a class at a time from the twelfth grade down-a twelve-year process...
