...One-Man Show. Neuberger's shrewd and professional campaign was almost entirely a one-man (and a woman) show: Neuberger made all the decisions, wrote most of the press releases, planned all the attacks. In the first phase of his campaign he told Oregonians, in shocked, evangelistic tones and in endless reiteration, that Cordon was a sinister reactionary who took tidelands oil away from their children's mouths, gave away dams and power lines to private utilities, tried to wreck Eisenhower's foreign policy and opposed everything from cancer research to free school lunches. The voters were...
From the Law School to the School of Public Health, the University already has tremendous resources for work in international relations.

But last month, as Gloria's New York debut with Franchot Tone in a minor role in The Time of Your Life at the City...
...effect of perhaps coarsening him to some extent. He was always inclined to be a little dictatorial . . . but nowadays he brooks no criticism and will not even suffer advice gladly. He is highly conscious of his place in history . . . Jawahar is ambitious for India. Whether his one-man control . . . has made him a benevolent despot is a matter of opinion." Nehru's sister concludes: "In the eyes of the world, he is undoubtedly the only man in India who can guide and control her destiny in these difficult times. Nevertheless, there is danger for him and for India...
