...violence as evidence not only that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek will bite the hand that feeds him, but has very few teeth left. Said the neutralist newspaper Le Monde: "The Nationalists have lost almost all hope of winning back China. This sense of frustration naturally nourishes the feeling of latent bitterness against the Americans." If the riots "lead to fresh thinking about Formosa," said the Manchester Guardian, "they will have done some good." The U.S.-baiting weekly Spectator argued: "American diplomacy has been playing at blind man's buff in Southeast Asia. The time has now come to bring...
Meanwhile, in New Haven on Saturday, Yale displayed some of the latent power which it has kept at least partially under wraps all season, in overwhelming Princeton, 66 to 20. One week ago the Crimson defeated the same opponent by the slightly smaller margin of 66 to 24. Highlight of the Eli victory was the performance of the 400-yard freestyle relay team. A quartet made up of Rex Aubrey, Dave Armstrong, Roger Anderson, and Tim Jaecko raced to a world's record time of 3 minutes 16.1 seconds in this event. In the process, Armstrong, Anderson, and Jaecko were...
With that ill-judged order, Déjoie's prestige began to drop. As it fell, up went the fortunes of another candidate, Daniel Fignole, a leftist spellbinder with a strong latent hold on the lowly blacks of Port-au-Prince.

Their defiance was subtly encouraged by the Stalinist Communist leaders whom Gomulka supplanted, who did not hesitate to appeal to Poland's latent anti-Semitism and describe the Gomulka faction as a "bunch of Jews." From their viewpoint, an anti-Communist demonstration at the polls would constitute a massive nonconfidence vote in Gomulka, and justify a Stalinist revival in which they would return to power, if necessary with the support of Soviet tanks...
...fellow men. Through his compulsive drive to push back the horizons of learning, culture, and opportunity, he has set in motion currents that have influenced the lives of most of his fellow citizens at home and millions of his fellow humans abroad. With an instinctive feeling for the latent resources of the U.S. and the world, he has raised the levels of education, gathered art for all to see, inspired millions with the natural beauty of national park sites, reconstructed the sights and sounds of history in projects such as Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia and the magnificent Stoa in Athens...
