...overseas correspondent of the New York Times declared that "Bolshevism is the revengeful shadow of reckless modern materialism.' . . . Native attempts to decapitate a beast of this nature by military imprisonment and misdirected propaganda results only in three heads springing up where one grew before...
Waiting in the Wings. The Bruins were even luckier to land Orr, who is the roughest, most reckless and best all-around hockey player to emerge in years. At age 12 he was considered the prize of the Canadian little leagues, and was already being wooed by Montreal.

LBJ, at least, could be pictured as a foul-mouthed reckless driver who in all probability pinched his secretaries' behinds. We must ask if out new Chief Executive--a man so intensely serious, so devoid of anything one associates with human warmth--can survive the pressures of the Presidency. Can we be led by a man who smiles like a zombie and whose idea of beauty is a replica...
