...this fashion, Woolworth's spotlighted a building and improvement program on which it has spent $25,574,000 in the last two years. When the job is done, Woolworth's will have transformed itself completely into a medium-price variety chain. The company has already copied many merchandising frills from its tonier competitors. The Houston store will make free deliveries of purchases over $5 and, like some other Woolworth stores, it has a "layaway" plan-a kind of charge account in reverse-under which a customer makes a down payment on a piece of merchandise, pays regular installments...
...recent discussions of the Harvard football situation, it has been completely forgotten that the College's athletic program must orient itself towards the major aims of the educational process. Now there is not doubt that sports, even though played mainly for relaxation and exercise, can contribute toward instilling the attitudes and mental skills approved by "general education." We are endlessly bombarded with pretty sentiments about how contact with teammates develops the players discipline, self-confidence and a number of other social traits--all very true and very important.

By making these concessions in time, the Allies hoped to strengthen the democratic regime. The plan misfired when Chancellor Adenauer attempted to claim all the credit for himself. By declaring himself opposed to discussing the program with the Social Democrats, he seriously weakened the prestige of parliamentary procedure and the validity of the contract. In protest, Opposition-leader Schumacher called Adenauer "Chancellor of the Allies," and was suspended from the House. Fortunately his party did not follow him, though its members share his belief that Adenauer...
This editorial proposes no easy program for dealing with the resurgence of totalitarian nationalism in Germany. It will not say how the Occupation could have created from the ruins of the Third Reich a healthy and congenial community in Western Europe. It does say that the Allies have not built that sort of a Germany, and that England, France, and the U.S. must immediately coordinate the little control they still hold to prevent Germany from disrupting the security of the West...
