Millions of peasants were herded into people's communes and hitched to plows. Peking broke up families, tried to ban money, jerry-built hundreds of "backyard" steel furnaces. The slogan was: "Communism can grow grain and make steel." Through brawn and "revolutionary romanticism" China was to turn almost overnight into an industrialized land. The Great Leap Forward was hailed as a short cut to Communism -and a slap at Moscow. Khrushchev warned that it could not be done. After a few months the experiment indeed collapsed. Gloating over the failure, Khrushchev told visiting Hubert Humphrey that...
...Ready-to-use formulas supplied in quart cans are drained into the bottle through a plastic tube inserted by needle into the nipple -a process that takes only 15 seconds, and can be done right in the nursery. There is no more tedious measuring and mixing of formulas, no overnight refrigeration, no rewarming or washing and sterilizing of bottles for reuse. To buy and prepare Beniflex costs only 14? per unit, about the same as present feeding methods; but by changing to the new system, St. Joseph's Hospital in Denver figures that it can eliminate two large formula...

He called on Margaret Rutherford, or so she affirms, last year, when she and her husband were staying overnight in the theater during her appearance in School for Scandal...
Some features of the Widener reserve policy are no easier to explain. A few hundred books, held on reserve for certain graduate-level courses, may be checked out overnight.

Despite the assurances some Lamont staff members will readily give, none but the wealthy should drop Widener reserves into Lamont's night-return chute. Facilities at Widener for book returns after closing time, or a Widener-Lamont accord should not be difficult to arrange. Either would be appreciated by those Harvard...
...with the Loeb, the future of the VAC is much in doubt. It is not inconceivable that the Center could become a glamorous and powerful monument to an idea frozen to death by a chilly Harvard atmosphere. The building did not appear overnight, but during the long period of its construction and planning few conclusions were reached on a program for the Center. Only a handful of courses in the visual arts will be offered next Fall, and even these seem to be largely experimental ventures, without a coherent program to guide them or indicate further classes...
