...Want to Stay." Capitol Hill Democrats are, in the way of Democrats, optimistic about 1954. Last week any Democratic leader on the Hill would bet that they will win control of the House in 1954 (a net gain of five seats will do it). They do not think they can win control of the Senate, but only because too many doubtful seats now held by Democrats will be on the block. No one is saying just what roles Harry Truman and Adlai Stevenson will play in the 1954 campaigns. Said Truman recently: "If it will help for me to stay...

Last week, rushing up & down a 110-yard field at Annapolis with rough & tumble abandon, the men of Army and Navy were on the warpath again. Object of the game: to hurl a 5-oz. India rubber ball into a 6-ft.-square net, using a webbed hickory stick as a combination scoop and sling. If a member of one of the ten-man teams happened to clobber a rival with a stick, or send him sprawling on his face, it was all part of the game. The stakes of honor were considerable, involving not only the traditional Army-Navy...
