...changing," and has ordered the fund's Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions to take a two-year look at the problem. With an assist from such men as Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, University of California President Clark Kerr and Jesuit Philosopher John Courtney Murray, Hutchins hopes to turn up "various viewpoints on what the Good Life shall be in America," to reach "dependable conclusions about our national strength and weakness...
...evidence is impressive. Alex Alazraki. who was born with only stumps for arms and legs, uses the vestigial limbs to pop tiny screws into packages, punches out orders at a respectable hunt-and-peck speed on the typewriter, drives his own car to work. Murray Nemser, his backbone fused rigid by war injuries, does a full day's work estimating contract bids while stretched out on a mobile cot beside his desk. A one-armed man, using a special jig, performs a delicate soldering job. Women with arthritic-weakened wrists wind wires with the aid of an Abilities-designed...
Steve Clark, 17-year-old high school speedster from Los Altos, Calif., scored a major upset early in the three-day meet by beating Australian Murray Rose in the 220-yd. freestyle with a record-smashing time of two minutes flat.

Murray-who, with varying fortune, have tried to make good English of good Greek, or in his words from the poem, to "tell us in our time, lift the great song again." Each generation must do it in its own idiom. If there is missing "like ocean on the Western beach/The...
Denver has climbed from mediocrity to supremacy in a surprisingly short period of time under the leadership of coach Murray Armstrong. When he took over in 1956-57, he guaranteed a national championship in three years. It took only two. And in 1958, after Denver had won its first NCAA title, the Pioneers had grown so strong that only two teams in the Western league would play them the following year (NDU and CC). As a result, the league folded, and Denver did not have enough NCAA-accredited games for the tournament in 1959. The league was reconstituted...
