...time when political charge and countercharge revved the air waves, when a kind of national self-examination was going on, and when reports of declining U.S. prestige abroad could be politically magnified into charges that the U.S. had become a second-class power, a dazzling succession of achievements did much to restore U.S. pride last week. It was one of the space age's most eventful weeks so far, and what went on above the earth all but dwarfed the confusions and diffi culties below. Within a span of 48 hours, U.S. spacemen...
Where to Stay. All European first-class hotels in major cities will be jammed, have few rooms and small hellos for travelers without reservations.

"I withstood [Peter] to the face," he writes in Galatians 2:11, "because he was to be blamed...
...says Lippincott, will be "roughly comparable to those on Prospect Street." While membership in the new quad requires only an application to the Dean's Office, admission to an eating club, however, is through a secret election. But Lippincott insists that Princeton undergraduates do not regard any group as "second-class citizens, or a group set apart." Woodrow Wilson Lodge contains a "damn good, sound cross-sectional group," he says...
