...Gromyko as Russia's chief delegate to the United Nations. Few passengers knew that he had been aboard. Cornered in his cabin, he told ship news reporters: "I am Malik, I am glad to meet you, but I have no comment." A sandy-haired, broad-shouldered man of medium height, Malik had been well schooled in Russia's robot diplomacy. He had served as Russia's wartime ambassador to Japan, most recently as deputy foreign minister for Far Eastern Affairs. What comment did he have on the Wallace-Stalin letters?

...perhaps one of the most rewarding features of THE MARCH OF TIME Forum Edition is its increasing contribution to a relatively new and fast growing information medium. When they were first launched, the films were directed to an audience that had access to only some 30,000 16 mm. projectors.

The audience loved every minute of it, right down to the final clinch and the hero's preposterous curtain line-"Your mouth is an abyss...
Inveighed most strongly against the present setup is the polar aloofness between advisor and advisee. In theory, the relationship is the ground-breaker for tutorial; it acquaints the student with the broader aspects of his field of concentration through the friendly medium of a personal association. It provides that the advisor's work with his charge shall transcend the signing of a study card, and that he shall attempt to awaken the latter's interest in the educational enterprise, or, finding it awake, pass him along into the tutorial program where he belongs. Where tutorial is too strictly limited...
