Michael Janeway '62 of the Atlantic Monthly was in Eliot House with Stauder. Janeway recalled that Stauder was "terribly serious, very quiet. All talks were serious talks. He had a kind of quiet power which came from seeming to know his mind and his work." "I felt a great deal of respect for him. He kept very much to himself and seemed to get the very kind of satisfaction out of his work that other people get out of football games." Janeway added. Lately. Janeway and Stauder have gotten together at parties...
Nixon let drop several clues that he has such steps in mind. In the television speech, he said that things were looking better in Viet Nam than they had in June. That was when he declared that he hoped to beat a timetable proposed by ex-Defense Secretary Clark Clifford, who called for withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops by the end of next year.

Was I interested?" By November her report was ready: "Spend a lot of money on this," she recommended...
...knows much of science, and about the things that were known before ever science came," Lord Dunsany once remarked, with both British and scientific understatement. Loren Eiseley is one such humanist-scientist-Dunsany's man for all cultures. A writer of literary distinction (The Immense Journey, The Mind as Nature) as well as a front-rank anthropologist, he is one of the few living scientists who can contemplate evolution and think of the Odyssey as the immediately appropriate metaphor. Somehow Eiseley has absorbed all the New Information while retaining a pre-scientific sense of wonder...
