...worked earnestly for disarmament, and toward the end of his life he was still dauntlessly touring the U.S., a rumpled figure on college platforms and at socialist gatherings. Thomas opposed the U.S. role in Viet Nam. "We must stop thinking that God has called us to be policemen," he said. "You never had a more high-minded intervener than Woodrow Wilson. But I don't notice it worked so well. Wilson wanted to be very righteous. You know, he felt that he and God thought very much alike...
Mobile Monuments. Nor was there much the ICC could do about growing infiltration into the South. "If 550,000 U.S. troops cannot stop the infiltration," explains a Canadian today, "how could any international peace force with limited means be expected to control it?" In 1962, an Indian-Canadian majority report condemned Hanoi for infiltrating men and material into the South, while finding Saigon guilty of a "de facto military alliance" with the U.S. Both actions were in contravention of the 1954 agreements. Later, an Indian-Polish majority report inveighed against U.S. bombing of North Viet Nam. No one heeded...
Heavy Costs. Hearst's victory was not cheap. Strikers followed carrier boys on their routes, noted houses taking the paper, later claimed to have talked 125,000 subscribers into canceling. They persuaded 200 news dealers to stop selling the paper, smashed hundreds of Herald-Examiner vending machines. In all, circulation dropped from 730,000 to 540,000, at a cost to Hearst of about $2,000,000. Advertisements for the year slipped about 7,000,000 lines behind the year before, a loss of at least $7,000,000. Hearst was forced to lower his ad rates, probably losing...
Free and Faithful. Alexis Sigismund Weissenberg realizes now that his problem was not the critics who switched from cooing to carping. Nor was it the managers who booked him into that deadly round of whistle-stop tours called Community Concerts. His problem was the quandary of every young performer: "He must perform early for an audience to develop his personality. On the other hand, the inner gifts need development privately. If these are developed in front of the public, many things are exaggerated, experimental, uncertain...
...SAFETIES: Tony Kyasky, Syracuse, 6 ft. 4 in., 210 Ibs.; and Roger Wehrli, Missouri, 6 ft., 187 Ibs. Kyasky has a "good nose for the ball." A solid, consistent performer, he is big enough to fight it out with a tight end, quick enough to stop an off-tackle play. Wehrli will probably be cast as a free safety because of his knack for homing in on the ball. "He's a tough kid," says one scout. "Maybe too tough. I've seen him knock himself cuckoo on tackles." The nation's top punt returner, with...
