"It would be a great mistake to conclude that a blind dash must always gain the victory over cautious skill. An unskilled dash would lead not to the destruction of the enemy's forces but our own," he wrote. Now if ever in the war, when peace at last is possible, it would seem to be a time for cautious skill...
...outcome was surprising not only because of the April vote but also because two authoritative California polling firms, Don Muchmore's and Mervin Field's, found Bradley ahead into the last week. Field's final report gave Bradley a lead of five points, with Yorty gaining. Muchmore's sampling put Bradley 17 points ahead. Both surveys, however, indicated a large undecided vote. The trouble with any poll involving a Negro candidate, of course, is that many of those interviewed are reluctant to admit to racial prejudice. Some who succumbed to Yorty's argument and their...

If the university has projects serving other ends, initiated directly or indirectly by its administration or the government, we have yet to learn about...
Only Japan's builders, who lead the world in construction of the giant tankers, are making money on them. Though the Japanese compete fiercely with each other for orders, they have been sharing technological ideas since the Imperial Navy ordered them to do so before World War II. They have produced such innovations as computer-controlled cutting torches, self-propelled welders and devices that can flip over 80-ton subassemblies to make welding easier. These have helped reduce building costs from $91 a ton for a 100,000-d.w.t. tanker to $68 for a 300,000-tonner. Even...
