Professor Guber was in the United States last October to attend a meeting of the Bureau of the International Committee of Historians, and was invited by William L. Langer '15, director of the Russian Research Center, to give a talk on the study of history in the Soviet Union.

...elected to the Senate, he will be a relatively useless and noisy ornament. He might provide companionship for fellow-maverick Bill Langer of North Dakota, but it will be hard to construe his victory as any resurgence of American reaction.

In that breakup, the Republicans got saddled with U.S. Senator Bill Langer. And having got him, last week they tried to get rid of him: the state G.O.P. convention voted...
