...York's newly elected Mayor Vincent Impellitteri hurried home from Cuba to order an investigation. Governor Thomas E. Dewey-who had vetoed a legislative bill aimed at weeding out railroad engineers with bad safety records-called on the bankrupt line's two court-appointed trustees to resign. They stolidly refused. A wave of vehement indignation swept New York. Newspapers baldly used the word "murder" in editorials (see PRESS), and millions of shocked and frightened citizens cried, "Now they'll HAVE to do something...

Last week, a bit weary of running the nation's eighth biggest university, Chancellor Chase, 67, decided to resign "while I can still hope to look forward to some years of freedom." He felt that he had good cause to "seek a rest." By the time he actually retires at the end of the academic year, he will have been head of one major university or another for a stretch of 32 years, a longer tour of duty than that of any other university* president...
