...Crimson remained in complete domination for the rest of half, Mike Miller, John Van Schalwyk, and Holmes accounting for the final Crimson tries. Miller, who played for Dartmouth last spring, made the score 8 to 0 when he grabbed a pass and scampered 20 yards to the goal line. This was the only time during the afternoon when wing forward Jack Butterfield failed to convert. Holmes ended the half as he fell on the ball in the end zone after a quick dribbling rush...
...Taft-Hartley law, President Eisenhower replied that he did not "think Taft-Hartley is necessarily any cure for this thing. If we can't settle our economic differences by truly free economic bargaining without damaging seriously . . . the United States, then we have come to a pretty pass...

But in the fourth period, with the score tied 7-7, Meredith faded with the ball, twice wiggled free of tacklers, and floated a 31-yd. touchdown pass into the end zone. As S.M.U. went...
Keeping Up with the Times. In this volume, Faulkner carries the story well beyond World War II, and it is precisely the new material that seems least convincing. Characters get in and out of wars in a way that seems merely to pass time. Linda marries a New York sculptor who is also a Jew and a Communist, but by the time he gets himself killed fighting in the Spanish Civil War, the whole episode has the look of merely trying to keep up with the times. Jefferson, Miss, (really Faulkner's home town of Oxford) sees dramatic changes...
