Somehow or other, the human race is managing to survive the close call, but now long it can stave off the fatal day is uncertain. It is time for the intelligentsia to realize its responsibilities. Civilization must be left to its own devices no longer. It is up to Phi Beta Kappa men to recognize their Key as the wise man's burden, which is altogether too ponderous to dangle from a mere watchchain, and altogether too potent to have no other...
Last week Pandit Nehru refused any longer to compromise. Shortly after the recent re-election to the Congress presidency of Subhas Chander Bose, Bengal Leftist leader, over the opposition of M. K.

Arturo Toscanini, who has a memory like a telephoto camera, could remember having seen some such score. On Tuesday a phone call was put through to the Library of Congress in Washington. Music Librarian Harold Spivacke burrowed all day, late at night emerged in dusty...
Dueling is no longer a college custom even at Heidelberg, but at tiny Blue Ridge College in New Windsor, Md., Freshmen George Deaton and George List stole into the college gymnasium one dawn last week, began to make grim preparations. While the two freshmen stripped to the waist, companions found a pair of French fencing épées, pulled off the protective tips, sterilized the points. Business: a duel. Challenger: Freshman List. Prize: the favor of a blonde Blue Ridge co-ed known as "Little Miss America...
