Jagannath is 6 ft. tall, with a flat-topped black face, round white eyes, a diamond painted on the forehead, a mouth set in a wide led smile. His brother, Balabhadra, is 7 ft. tall, with a white face, a rounded skull and oval eyes; sister Subhadra is only 5 ft. high, with a yellow, pinched face that gives her a hungry look. Making a new set of idols to replace the worn-out trio at least once every 25 years is a tricky business. First a neem tree must be found, in which no bird is nesting...
Such is my faith in Harvard. But I am not alone in my adoration for America's oldest college. One member of an English class, venting her enthusiasm for Harvard, remarked, "I just can't get the smile off my face. I try to close my mouth, but it breaks with a smile." Upon querying another summer student as to whether or not she was a regular member of the Harvard family, I received the prompt and concise reply, "No, I wish I were...
...Frol Kozlov is a sturdy specimen (5 ft. 8 in., 176 Ibs.) of Kremlin man. His hands are small and active, and so are his well-shod feet.

Kozlov, who gained a reputation as an anti-Semite during the "doctors' plot," seemed offended. "I have many friends of Jewish nationality," said he. Among them: a Leningrad rabbi, various Soviet officials, the wife of "President Voroshilov who unfortunately died recently. God give it that the Jews should live such a life in any other country as in the Soviet Union. They live better in the Soviet Union than in Israel." Just then the pilot sent back word that too many...
...most dramatic reading in the book. Ike was at first undecided about whether or not to drop his running mate and told reporters that anyone on his ticket would have to prove himself "clean as a hound's tooth." Hearing about the remark, Nixon "forced a disbelieving smile and muttered something to himself." Later, Ike seemed to try to postpone a decision; reports Mazo: "Nixon stiffened and said sternly, 'There comes a time in a man's life when he has to fish or cut bait.' (Actually, his words were stronger.)" Even Tom Dewey, a Nixon...
