Outplayed for a period and a half, the varsity lacrosse team suddenly shook its lethargy Saturday and scored six goals before Cornell could again penetrate its defense. That devastating spurt carried the Crimson to a 13-9 victory--its fifth straight and first in Ivy League competition...
...Deep. It was never simple for Pollock. Friends saw him, a cigarette smoldering on his lip, emerge from his studio limp as a wet dishrag. In 1953 Pollock took up brushes again, using his drip technique less and less frequently, to produce his last spurt of genius. In Portrait and a Dream, he showed the dichotomy between the monochrome meandering of his somnolent mind and the colorful mask of his own waking self. In Easter and the Totem, he paired a budding lily with a brown bullet totem that juts into the canvas from the left. He painted The Deep...
...blue-collar workers as it becomes more efficient. A 4% rate of rise in productivity means that the U.S. will have to create 2,400,000 jobs every year just to keep unemployment from climbing above the current high level of 5.7% of the work force.

Some U.S. economic policymakers have characteristically begun to argue that the job of making jobs will require not only a cut in taxes but a boost in Government spending as well...

September marks the end of the somnolent holiday season, the beginning of a new spurt of business and the return to work of the managers who make Europe's industry run. In 1963, it also marks a decisive time for the unique and historic union that is Europe's Common Market. The remarkable fact about the Market, eight months after Charles de Gaulle abruptly barred Britain from membership, is that, in a triumph...
