Love of Puttering. Throughout his career, Attlee remained as egalitarian as the Britain he hoped to build. His wife Violet often chauffeured him about in the family Hillman on his political rounds. He wore frayed clothes, smoked a little black pipe and cultivated the Englishman's love of puttering about a garden. The son of a lawyer, he attended Oxford and was a staunch Tory until he visited a London slum. The squalor turned the young lawyer into a social worker and socialist. When the Labor Party split in 1935 over the issue of pacifism, Attlee, a World...
...answer to soaring college enrollment and the surging cost of professors is to put the prof in front of a television camera and simultaneously pipe him into numerous classrooms.

If the Ford strike lasts until Thanksgiving, former CEA Chairman Walter Heller last week warned the Economic Club of Detroit, the resulting drop in the gross national product could reach $4 billion...
Among the Faculty Chalmers is pretty much alone in his advocacy of greater student influence. Most Faculty members feel very strongly that the present system works very well. Last week Master Dunn leaned back in his chair puffed on his pipe, then ventured, smiling, "Benevolent paternalism isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it? You might one day be grateful for it, rather like you're grateful for your father...
