...result was the magazine's "Revolt of the Masses" number roundly attacking the House Plan. The attack was so strong that Lampy's graduate trustees threatened to resign unless the editors personally apologized to Edward S. Harkness, donor of the Houses. But President Alan R. Blackburn, speaking for the Bow St. aviary, made it clear he planned no retraction...
Laborite Bevan's reckless political course, leading to his resignation from his party's parliamentary committee (TIME, April 29), was also getting him in trouble. Sir Winston Churchill gloated that Nye's revolt had left him "a stranded whale." Last week the whale was expertly harpooned by Bevan's No. 1 rival in the Labor Party, Deputy Leader Herbert Morrison.

Eager to replace nothing with something, Brace marries an earnest, straightforward Roman Catholic boy and embraces his faith. Dick goes into his father's lumber business but increasingly embraces the bottle and "used women, women who at one time had been firmly in the possession of others ...
