...students who have resigned on "ideological grounds" from the Times-Republican, the new publication, which has not yet been approved by Dean Watson, will "cater to a view not adequately presented at Harvard," Leland said. The periodical will have a free, university-wide circulation, and nationwide subscription in addition...
Both before and after President Eisenhower took to TV to defend his besieged budget (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), Capitol Hill Democrats snickered in the cloakrooms: "The Republican Party should demand equal time to answer him!" Utah's neo-dinosaurian Republican ex-Governor J. Bracken Lee, now chairman of the "For America" committee, did exactly that. By last week three major TV networks had turned down Republican Lee's request, leaving only Mutual Broadcasting Network as his last hope...
Last week Tennessee's Democratic Senator Estes Kefauver was telling an improbable yarn about the G.O.P., but asserting that it "could have happened." The Keef's rib-tickler: After a newsman asked a Republican Congressman to define "Modern Republicanism," a Democratic bystander gave the answer: "Modern Republicanism is excitingly and dynamically conservative.

In fact, argues David Lawrence, Eisenhower -and the Republican platforms as well-coppered their campaign promises of Government economies with the qualification that none would be allowed at the expense of the defense program or vital domestic services...
...remedy this situation, Indiana's Republican Senator Homer Capehart introduced a bill to require the beneficial (i.e., actual) stockholders to be identified before voting in any U.S. proxy fight. But if Senator Capehart thought he was doing the SEC a favor, he got a rude surprise. Last week, at the Senate Banking subcommittee hearings on the use of foreign banks in U.S. proxy fights, SEChairman Armstrong flatly opposed the measure. Present SEC laws permit stock owners of record, such as banks or brokers, to vote stock in proxy battles, and they require disclosure of beneficial ownership only by those...
