...spoke of the U.N.'s most personal and humanitarian works: the series started where it should, with individuals. But appropriate though this beginning is, the tough-minded Secretary-General would have encouraged a series that went on from here to lectures whose ideas might influence the expansion of the scope of international organization, and of respect for international law. The most tangible steps toward reform, development, and the relief of suffering, could never satisfy him so long as he felt the U.N. might help to mitigate the political forces that made reform impossible...
This proposal may appear impractical at first glance; however, in view of the Dining Hall Department's success with Interhouse in the College, there is little reason to malign Carle Tucker's talents by supposing he would be unable to enlarge the scope of his system. Indeed, it should be a simple matter to use the example of Dudley House lunches and limit outsiders to a specific, manageable number each hour, a number necessarily different in each dining hall. Students would be required only to sign their names and addresses; the sponsor requirement would be abolished, and the individual dining...
Freeze & Famine. The military good news was long overdue, though minor in scope, and indicated that General Brij Mohan Kaul, 50, the border commander, was beginning to use to good advantage the U.S. and British automatic weapons and heavy mortars being flown in around the clock.

"Morale is high," Radhakrishnan told newsmen. "All the troops...
...famed Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. There, a specimen of Mrs. Roosevelt's bone marrow-the body's main factory for various elements in the blood-was taken by puncturing a hipbone with a big hypodermic needle. The hematologists who examined the marrow smears under the micro scope could not agree. Though there were enough cells present to rule out aplastic anemia, one of the deadliest forms of the disease, some of the experts thought that the abnormal cell forms suggested an obscure type of leukemia. Others said...
...approach to Eddington: "His penchant for paradoxes, his gift for seductive images, his untenable philosophical interpretations of physical events, made him a prime target for clear thinkers." Yet, "he was a major benefactor of society. He stimulated the teaching and learning of physical science; he enlarged understanding of its scope and methods; he excited a taste for adventure in scientific thought." All this may be true; the ten or twelve pages of lucid essay which have preceded these pronunciamentos convinced me they are true. But Newman is asking us to opt for the pragmatic perspective of science rather than make...
