While an election year might be expected to produce a rash of investigations, few are in the wind. None is genuinely new. There will be further probing of defense procurement policies, and of auto dealers' complaints against manufacturers. The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee is set to question Communists and ex-Communists in journalism...
Swarms in Bazaars. Strongman Daoud was aware that his strict Moslem people might be tempted to rash acts by their religious hostility to Communism, by the tales told by the constant stream of refugees from nearby Russian Turkistan, and by the age-old assumption among Afghans that anything to the north is barbaric.

Despite all the disadvantage of a rash expansion, there remains the possibility that the College can set its house in order now and still be able to accommodate an increased enrollment in the next ten years.

It should expand and improve its physical facilities, recruit faculty members, and attempt to get the tremendous funds necessary to guarantee an unimpaired Harvard education for increased numbers of students...
