...very fundamental one for most students. He notes that college tends to move students toward a greater uniformity and at the same time somewhat more flexibility of social outlook, but he feels that these are changes on the surface of personality, and do not involve the fundamental values which shape a student's life pattern. "They certainly do not support the widely held assumption that a college education has an important, general, almost certain 'liberalizing' effect," he claims...
...week Don Bowden, University of California junior, was pressed for time. Every night he was up late cramming for final exams. The few afternoons he was not in the classroom he raced to the practice field to keep in shape for the Pacific A.A.U. track meet. Then he rushed right back to his studies.

From his smart showrooms appropriately located on the edge of Beverly Hills, Lowitz supplies paintings in any shape, size, color, subject, style or quantity. Last year he sold about 40,000, mostly to hotels, and this year business is even brisker.

Even if aerial inspection were limited to flights over Arctic airfields...

When the daughter of the local industrial tycoon pops the question, "Joe, do you really love me?" Joe coos back sweet nothings in the shape of five zeros: "A hundred thousand pounds' worth." Room at the Top suggests for the first time that the Welfare State can be used as a runway for a take-off into the upper economic air by a young man who is not too finicky about throwing his friends over...
