Joel Landau failed even to make the finals in the hurdles, and University record holder Henry Abbot threw the shot well below his usual standard. But now exams are over, and the varsity can still recoup its losses...
...succumbed to, and it must go beneath the killing froth of a marriage to its dark, neurotic lees. It must convey someone the more disenchanted for having first been so strangely romantic, and it might well suggest a gifted writer's self-delusion that memory would afterward recoup with words what had been squandered on wine and women.

It was in the Midwest, then a land of drought and depressed prices, that Republicans suffered their most painful 1956 House losses. It is in the Midwest, now a land of grains and gains, that the G.O.P. must recover if it is, at best, to close up the House gap on Democrats or, at worst, to forestall a Democratic landslide. Last week TIME correspondents traveled through the Midwest...
