There are numberless other inaccuracies in Mr. Reed's Profile, a few of which are the reference to Mr. Finley's white hair (which retains its usual youthful color), the diminished attendance in Humanities 2 (simply false), and the ungrammatical Latin attributed with great unlikelihood to a former student of Norden and Wilamowitz (I pass over the vulgar reply). These allegations need no refutation, but they do seem inappropriate in the year when Eliot House, as now a nationwide community, is celebrating Professor Finley's 25th anniversary as Master...
...Arnold complained that the Air Force was not getting the large share of credit it claimed, Marshall told him pretty sharply to pipe down. Nor was he the man to ease the jolt when it came to jumping talent over seniority, as when Lieut. Colonel Eisenhower was promoted over numberless brigadiers.

Pike of San Francisco has given Episcopalians numberless reasons for withholding donations, gifts to the diocese of California appear to be down 15% in 1965 chiefly because he opposed the constitutional amendment that repealed the state's fair housing act.

When armed men are in action in Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic and standing guard on numberless borders (Berlin, Korea, etc.), it would seem an odd time to argue that international law is replacing international force. But Charles S. Rhyne, former president of the American Bar Association, is just that optimistic. Proudly, he points to the "lawyer-to-lawyer" movement that he launched in 1963 with an Athens conference of 1,000 lawyers from 105 countries. Last year he opened the World Peace Through Law Center in Washington, D.C. Now he is planning the first "World...
