In addition to the top administrative officials of Government and a sturdy bloc in Congress, Eisenhower Republicanism includes the major elected Republicans who are closest to the voters: the 19 G.O.P. governors...
...opposition in this race and a varsity decision over one of these crews (Yale being the best possibility) would be more than a major triumph. These are two very fine crews, but both of their coaches have expressed the opinion that Princeton and Harvard will be aided by the shorter distance of the race (2000 meters...
