Radcliffe has challenged the Masters' moral posture by its evident determination to cut social rules to a very bare minimum-which will probably mean no rules at all within a decade. It is difficult for Harvard to maintain that Radcliffe really doesn't understand the temptations to which young couples are subject, or explicitly to reject Radcliffe's assumption that young ladies are competent to look after their own virtue. And since women have traditionally been the defenders of morality, it is a bit awkward to say that what is permissible by Radcliffe's standards is not to be allowed...
...Four Days of Naples evokes sympathy for its Italion protagonists with a minimum of melodrama. It even dares to intersperse this subject with frequent snatches of ironic comedy--a gentleman, for instance, running through the streets in pajamas crying, "Rejoice, solders! We lost the War!" A cast left anonymous in tribute to the real Naples performs superbly, especially, in its use of animated facial gesture. One man being led away for the work crews wrinkles his features into a soulful stare that would have made Chaplin envious. Photography and timing art both managed with artistic sensitiveness...
Recognition should be automatically granted to any political club which meets the minimum requirement of submitting a constitution and a list of members and officers for the University's records.

The Harvard name should not be a stamp of approval, but a symbol of the University's toleration of all points of view...
Most of the Congress-passed economic actions taken so far by the Kennedy Administration have admittedly been of the stopgap variety-a higher minimum wage, aid to distressed areas, extension of unemployment benefits, expanded public works, etc. They probably have not hurt the basic economy, but neither have they helped it much. Yet since Kennedy would certainly be blamed for recession, he can just as certainly claim credit for resurgence. And the way the U.S. economy is doing all by itself may make John Kennedy look very good...
...jockey, Willie Shoemaker, who had ridden six of the nine entries. But for the first time that anybody could remember, there were two undefeated horses in the field. Eastern money was on Joan Whitney Payson's No Robbery, who had won all five of his races by a minimum of 2½ lengths. Then there was Captain Harry Guggenheim's Never Bend, the richest horse of all, a dark bay with $502,484 in his bankroll. At post time, Candy Spots was the 3-2 favorite; No Robbery was 5-2; Never Bend was the close third choice...
