...grand slam of the nation's most prestigious schools was without precedent in modern days, probably in history. No statesman or soldier-not George Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, nor Dwight Eisenhower-has won all three honors in a single year, though many have managed it over the years. No one was more surprised at the coincidence than the schools them selves; like Macy's and Gimbels, they do not tell each other the names of their nominees.

In England last week ex-New York Timesman Drury was asked for his views of U.S. presidential candidates, answered like a true statesman. On the Democrats: "Johnson, Stevenson, Kennedy and Humphrey are all intelligent men and would make good Presidents." As for the G.O.P.: "Nixon has some principles of his own'' and could be "one of the most liberal Presidents we ever had. He could be very independent of the conservatives...
