...only other subjects of concern in a relatively quiet year also sound vaguely familiar to more modern ears--the rising cost of attending Harvard, and the lack of adequate medical facilities. Faced with high tuition and service charges under depression conditions, many concluded that, while its President spoke about an "aristocracy of brains," Harvard was rapidly developing into an aristocracy of wealth...
...nation's first President barred by the U.S. Constitution (22nd Amendment) from seeking a third term, Dwight Eisenhower once feared that his lack of a political future might hurt his political present. It seemed all too likely that political opportunists of both parties would declare open season on an Eisenhower deprived of a chance to take his program and his popularity to the polls again.

Day after the incident, an official Nairobi communique said the prisoners had died "after drinking water from a water cart." When Coroner W. H. Goudie began his own inquiry, he got little assistance from witnesses who testified, including, in his opinion, Hola's white Camp Commandant Michael Sullivan, whose veracity he frankly doubted. The coroner's verdict was itself curiously negative: "It is impossible to determine beyond reasonable doubt which injuries on the deceased were...
