Tomorrow, the senior class committee will send letters of protest to the alumni for additional support. Charles D. Ravenel '61 said that he would mail them to Alsop, Lippmann, and Kennedy, among others...
...Khrushchev thinks more like Richelieu and Metternich than like Woodrow Wilson," Walter Lippmann writes after his Moscow visit. Certainly the Russian Premier is handling the current Russian-British exchanges on Laos with coolness and detached calculation. Indeed, the deliberation with which both sides in the neotiations are unravelling each knot in the Laotian crisis almost justifies the British government's faith that a settlement is immanent.

...what both, Lippmann and Cater are concerned with is the relations of the newspaper to the democratic process, and this indeed is the problem of the daily newspaper today, a problem to which Lindstrom pays too little attention...
