Much the same sense of relief was evident last week after the Dictator finished his annual Reichstag address (TIME, Feb. 6). Because he announced no troop movements, made no mention of forthcoming invasions and delivered his address in rather more subdued tones than usual, many correspondents, editorial writers, even statesmen called the speech "mild." Those who took the trouble to wade through the long, formless address, however, discovered that it was actually one of the most sensational and threatening talks ever made by the head of a State.

...Field House bangs a complicated chart which looks like a series of baseball diamonds strung together. But it has nothing to do with baseball; rather it shows the scores of Harvard-Yale track meets for many years back--a fluctuating red line for the Crimson and a blue one for the Elis. And although for the last two years the lines have been nearly parallel, with the Blue on top, this year the Crimson indicator may well take a sharp turn upward if Jaakko Mikkola's track team fulfills the extraordinary promise it shows at this early date...

...term "snap" has been used rather too loosely by undergraduate authorities to designate any course which requires less energy output than the average. In a more precise terminology, there is a very small and exclusive category of "snaps," which can fulfill the wildest dreams of the party-monger and the crew man. These courses can usually be detected by a survey of enrollment statistics. Thus, when six hundred percent more students suddenly find their souls stirred by the esoteric beauties of Chinese literature, there is cause for more than conjecture. And likewise there is when, within a few years...
