...incur. Its relatively new thread is often hard to single out from the longer-established strands of traditional New England Anglophilism, or impotent Cambridge bohemianism, or merely the shabby genteel. Are that tweed cap and turtleneck sweater and that pair of Colin Wilson glasses long standing affectations, with family sanction, or have they been induced by a fortnight in London? Does that hawk-shouldered young lady with the unattached hair and dangling earrings long to be at Mary Vorse's place instead of the Mandrake? Or is she dressing funny to emulate the women she saw in Vander...
Secretary Dulles, occasionally badgered and prodded by Lyndon Johnson and others, tried to explain away congressional and public concern that the U.S. had not talked sanctions when the Russians defied the U.N. in Hungary. It had long been implied, he said, that if sanctions were ever applied either to the U.S. or Russia the U.N. probably would break up and there might be war.

...years later, in 1950, Mother Teresa received canonical sanction for her order.

And the economic power of these groups is sufficient to force many producers to comply. Robert Aldrich, an independent director-producer, claims that the producer has "no recourse" when the Legion demands cuts. Kazan also was irate in a letter to the New York Times complaining of 28 separate cuts he had been forced to make in Streetcar Named Desire to get the Legion's approval. And no producer is willing to alienate the large percentage...
Specific suggestions on the enlargement and streamlining of parking areas, especially in the Law School area, could also be carried out as soon as they received the Administration sanction. But the razing of University-owned and rented houses for added parking space in the area behind Dunster House could take excessive amounts of time and money. Due to the uncertainties of these suggestions, the goal of 1954 extra parking spaces probably could not be reached by next September...
