...gaining a very few votes, Dworshak effectively halted renaming the Clearwater for a man who made a tremendous contribution to the cause of conservation. Lucius Beebe, in his paper, The Virginia City (Nev.) Territorial Enterprise, called Dworshak "an illiterate clod" for his actions. But, despite this type of reaction, conservative inertia and political expediency will probably triumph. Idahoans will continue to revel in the historical and aesthetic significance of the name "Clearwater...
Published in the Near East, Africa and Asia, it is abundantly clear that this article would surpass even the handiwork of John Foster Dulles. Published in the CRIMSON, it was to say the least, the height of poor taste.

They are dull, even worse, they are bland. Our whole society has become bland. The old-fashioned American capacity for outrage or indignation is so often absent as to seem almost archaic. We intend...
...leaders of the mystic Taoist faith in Hunan Province have been condemned to death, according to the Peking press, for "preparing paper-made robes, swords, warships, banners, bows and arrows in a vicious attempt to equip an army of the other world and attack the Communist Party." In the Taoist view, objects can be translated to the spirit world if paper representations are burned. Thus the paper ornaments could indeed be stockpiled for a counterrevolution of spirits...
