...point, the President picked up from his desk a copy of a Law Day speech delivered by oldtime New Dealer Thurman Arnold, 75, at Indiana's Valparaiso University Law School. A lawyer who helped Owen Lattimore and a number of low-level Government employees who came under attack during the McCarthy era, Arnold has impeccable credentials as a defender of dissent. Yet his speech was a blistering denunciation of "alienated intellectuals" who take the position that "dissent deserves special consideration, immunity from criticism and the right to shout down persons who disagree with them."

...laboriously constructed lead almost fell apart in the ninth. McCandlish walked his third man of the game and after a foul out got the Eagle catcher to hit a double play ball to Cobb at third. But when second baseman Neil Houston couldn't handle Cobb's low throw and McCandlish added a walk the bases were loaded...
