Through it all, however, University life continued almost as if there were nothing abnormal happening. Uniforms became common-place and so did Radcliffe girls in Harvard lecture halls. Undergraduates who had never experienced the pre-war Harvard found nothing unusual about metal trays or double decker beds. While about 500 of the teaching staff took leaves of absence, 1600 stayed. These were assisted by professors who came out of retirement...

In the Paris area not a single bus, subway or trolley ground to a halt. Out of 600,000 metal and auto workers in the notorious "Red Belt" around Paris, only 3,000 obeyed the C.G.T. summons, and even they returned to work after half an hour.

A smashed fender that once could be replaced by a simple, curved piece of metal now involves large molded panels with sculptured lights. The bumper that cost $5 in 1940 now costs $20. In the good old days of divided windshields, the company could put in a new unit for $25. Adjusters expect the 1957 wraparound type will cost around $125. State Farm Vice President Thomas...
