Carnival in Albany. On the same day as Stevenson's speech, Averell Harriman was host to the first big political carnival of the season, a whooped-up "campaign workshop" in Albany for 1,700 Democrats running for local office in New York State this fall. Chief guest: Harry S. Truman. At least four times in the last six months, Truman has said he would support Stevenson in a second try for the presidency, but last week he changed his line...
From the beginning of his Administration, President Eisenhower has favored a decrease in the huge financial responsibilities taken on by the Federal Government under the New Deal. His theory: U.S. prosperity is better served by local enterprise than by federal expansion. "Partnership" in water-resources development is one facet of the theory.

Three local private companies would pay $273 million for the power-producing features of a $310 million dam across the Columbia River, in return get priority on its output for 50 years.

The danger in this assumption is clear: noise doesn't always imply knowledge. So far this year, however, Audience has steered a successful path between...
...other tongues and dispense the Indian tongue in the College." The trouble was that few aborigines cared to obtain knowledge or to dispense it. Those that did try to enter Harvard, about twenty in all, came hopelessly unready for higher education and had to be prepared for entrance in local prop school's at Harvard's expense...
