...torches for instance--future generation of Harvard men will return from a victory over Princeton and Yale soberly or otherwise, as the case may be, tack their program covers to the wall in deference to the tradition of while goal posts their predecessors fostered. Perhaps a dishonest few will sneak behind the Stadium and knock down the wooden goal posts on the practice field. Perhaps others will chip away the concrete in the Stadium itself. Or there might be a sudden rash of postgame helmet thefts...
...planning that the Russians will reach this point during the year 1956. We need new national policies for what I would call Phase II of the Atomic Age-the time when the Russians will have enough fission and hydrogen bombs, and the planes and missiles to make a sneak attack on the United States which will destroy our major cities and most of our industries. In the first phase the United States was safe; the atomic bomb was a powerful asset in the American arsenal. In the second phase the atom bomb in the hands of the Russians will become...

White-bearded Farmer Clancy had already given them the slip once, and they wanted him to stay put until the wound from his operation was fully healed. It was only an appendectomy, but what made the case ususual was Clancy's age: 100. So far as the records showed, he was the oldest appendectomy patient in history. Last week...
