Brown has a predominantly sophomore team with an excellent goalie, mediocre backs, and a below-par line. John Master, the Bruin goalie, is supposed to be the finest sophomore prospect Brown has come up with in many years. Dick Press and Bill Stamper are the fullbacks, but behind them there is no one to fill in. Captain Dick Ramsden will head a halfback line along with Sal Rena and Foster Ballard, while Arnie Hetzer, Howard Whitcomb, Bill Vandentorn, Bill Pearson, and Al Tapper make up the forward line...
...West can remain united in its insistence on an inspection system, however, it can afford to compromise on its other demands, and accept a test ban for a five or ten year period. The prospect that Russia would agree to the compromise, while not particularly good, cannot be ruled out. After all, it was the Soviet Union which proposed at last year's meeting of the U.N.

Down a broad, tree-pillared avenue, with great and handsome residences on either side, substantial edifices of stone and brick and leaded glass--the clubs. You can float down Prospect in a Fitzgeraldian dream, the wealth of accomplished architecture styles deluding you into the past. But up and around the corner, on a busier street, sets a building simple as reality, and as unavoidable as 1959. That is Prospect Club, its name a wistful mark of its exclusion. Prospect has always been the poor club, the wonk co-op club...
