...social behavior, communication and interaction, and social control and deviance. Such dramatic examples of curricular growth have been made necessary by the advance and increasing specialization of knowledge. In 1923-24 the University offered tow courses in Chinese, one elementary and one advanced, and none in Japanese and Korean. Last year the Department of Far Eastern Languages offered four full courses and approximately twenty half courses in Japanese, Korean and Mongolian, including both intensive and non-intensive courses in languages and intermediate and advanced courses in the literatures, history and institutions of these countries now of such great importance...

"You say I'm an Oklahoma Senator more than a national Senator?" he often asked. "Yes, that's what I'm here...
...Harry Truman, he was a rough-and-ready adversary of Soviet propaganda efforts. His most dramatic hour came in 1950 when he answered Moscow's attempt to charge the U.S. with aggression in Korea. Austin held up a Russian-made burp gun supplied to North Korean attackers, and said that Russia's complaints reminded him of a jar falsely labeled peaches. "Sir," he told the Soviet delegate, "I am in a position to let the world see what is inside-applesauce...
