...handful of newsmen who have covered the White House since he first took office, the President gave a series of individual "farewell interviews." Christinas spirit or no, Old Pol Truman could not resist the opportunity to repeat his charge that General Eisenhower had indulged in "demagoguery" during the campaign. He devoted most of the interviews, however, to proud reminiscences of his Administration. "Suppose you had it all to do over again, would you change anything?" asked the New York Times's Tony Leviero. "No," said Harry Truman...
This corrosive individualism expresses itself politically in a multiplicity of little parties, huddles of special interests. It shows itself in the big industrialists and businessmen who resist alike the productive imagination of U.S. capitalism and the legitimate aspirations of labor, and prudently send their capital out of the country. And the resultant despair shows in the 5,000,000 Frenchmen, 25% of the electorate, who voted Communist (a survey by France's FORTUNE-like Réaltiés showed that most were "seeking an energetic and dependable champion who would improve their material lot . . . The U.S.S.R., despite...
Both Duncan and Gandhi were arrested-exactly as they had planned-when they rejoined Duncan's wife Cynthia, waiting in their automobile. Next day, along with 36 other defendants (6 whites, 18 Indians, 12 Africans), they were charged with "inciting Negroes to resist, break or obstruct" apartheid laws.

Nevertheless, he can't resist the challenge of the job and the temptation of the ever-expanding frontier. Says he: "We talk about Tredway being a big company now. It isn't. . . We have about 3% of the total [market]-that's all, just 3% ... Suppose we get 15% of the total -and why not? . . . That...
Ridiculous, you say. No unit could take over its cadets that way, and none of them want to. Though correct, this whitewashes the problem. By its very nature, the ROTC must create as much esprit de corps as it can. But by its nature as well, the University must resist this, for fear it will impair the spirit of questioning and debate so essential to creation of inquiring minds. The clash in purpose will remain so long as the United States is engaged in a cold war or hot peace. Obviously, then, miniature Eiscnhowers are needed to operate the local...
