...Summer School administration made much of its varied extracurricular offering, and was extremely concerned with public relations. Its immediate organ of publicity was the Harvard Summer News, published weekly for the School by editors of the CRIMSON, with aid from transient journalists in the Summer School. Since the News was published essentially as an organ of the School, it conformed--as much as it could--to its restrictions. The sensitive administration disliked controversy; thus a story on reactions or Arkansan students to the large primary victory of Orval Faubus was banned by the School on the grounds that it might...
...From an Intelligence Agent's Notebook, a shoot-'em-up spy story in the Schoolchild's Library series published by the staid D.O.S.A.A.F. (Volunteer Society for Aiding the Army, Air Force and Navy).

Far from being a doctrinaire ax grinder, he bends over backward to present objective views to Ike. Indeed, he is most reluctant of all to give advice on the subject he knows best and feels most strongly about: agriculture...
...once wrote: "Have we not all about us forms of musical expression which we can take and purify and raise to the level of great art? For instance, the lilt of the chorus at a music-hall joining in a popular song, the children dancing to a barrel organ, the rousing fervor of a Salvation Army hymn . . . the cries of the street pedlars, the factory girls singing their sentimental songs. Have all these nothing to say to us?" For his pains he was at first dismissed as "a parish-pump composer." But he brought stature to the parish pump...
