Unless you propose to lose the cold war of ideas by default, some kind of national information program seems essential. While I applaud your undergraduate seal to lash out at evil, may I suggest that you might achieve more lasting good if you thought through your ideas a bit more. Cavilling criticism, uninformed although modish, is no substitute for hard and informed thinking in international affairs. The problems faced by USIA should, I feel, be your concern. They include building a large staff of officers trained in their own and their host country's culture, language, history, politics, and information...
...short, it would take a great amount of courage for the University to reverse itself at this juncture--much more than it would require to stand pat. It is never easy to lose face. But those now in power have an obligation to the Harvard of the future to change their minds before it is too late...
...lose most of our alumni workers and antagonize or discourage many of the schools by setting our minimum standards at certain levels we may find ourselves eventually with a smaller pool of candidates, fewer top scholars and a lower average level of academic ability as well as a less interesting, attractive and varied student body.

But her pictures continued to lose money, and since it had been apparent for some time to both of them that she never would become another Mary Pickford, in 1937 Marion made her last picture. She and Pops more or less settled down to the life of Midas-at their 55-bathroom, $3,250,000 beach palace in Santa Monica, and the twin-towered $30 million Hearst castle...
...Detroit last week the word "settlement" had begun to lose its meaning. Three weeks ago General Motors agreed with United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther on the economic clauses of a new three year contract only to see a majority of G.M. plants shut down by local disputes over work rules. Last week Reuther and G.M. Negotiator Louis Seaton settled the major noneconomic points in the contract, including such delicate matters as toilet time and pay for union shop chairmen. But still walkouts caused a shutdown in 39 G.M. plants, crippled production at another...
