In this respect the President's suggestion for a special, experimental quota of 5,000--to be distributed with regard not to nationality, but to cultural and technical skill--is a welcome prelude to a fulll-scale review of the whole concept of quotas based on national origins...
...late now, of course, to repaint the picture. The damage has been done--not only to the university, but to moderate Southerners who have argued persuasively against rushing immediate, full-scale integration.

The scale-down reduces the grainy effect of the pictures, puts the background almost as clearly in focus as the foreground. Fox's Production Chief Darryl F. Zanuck claims that "we have eliminated the bothersome fall-off in focus on the sides of the screen, and totally eliminated distortion...
