...College remains largely a hotbed of unconcern. Safely perched in the "middle-of-the-road," many of its "moderate liberals" hold fast to their comfortably philosophy of "don't-give-a-damnism." When sufficiently aroused by a crisis--or even a simple emergency they lean to the Left and lend their silent aid and comfort to the Respectable Radicals...

Boat clubs blossom in landlocked regions. In Arizona, where the boating public numbered only about 3,000 five years ago, there are now more than 30,000-and many of them fan out from Phoenix as far as 280 miles to find water. There was scarcely a man-sized boat in Kansas...
