...women reach middle life with out a heartache," says the prospectus of Clarke College, so Clarke sets about to head off the heartache. The small Roman Catholic girls' school in Dubuque, Iowa, accepts the commonplace theory that fledging a family of children can leave a woman with too much time and a painful lack of purpose. Consequently, Clarke trains its girls to be come, as President Sister Mary Benedict explains it, "the heart, the educated heart, not only of the home but of communities outside the home...
Buckley Jr. in his prospectus for the first issue of the National Review, "will forthrightly oppose the prevailing trend of public opinion; its purpose, indeed, is to change the nation's intellectual and political climate." Only five years out of Yale, Buckley had already made a national name for himself with his first book, God and Man at Yale, which accused his Alma Mater of preaching liberalism and secularism to the exclusion of almost everything else.

...WHEN the prospectus for TIME " was written more than 40 years ago, the founders stated their intention to make sense out of news about law. Since then, law has been the subject of many stories in various sections of the magazine. But for years the editors have pondered and debated the possibility of a separate department on the subject (and actually ran one on an experimental basis for a few weeks back in 1937). This week we launch as a regular part of TIME a section...
