...only produce chaos. Thus Senator McCarthy's actions may be legitimatize in consideration of his purpose. Tyrannically enforcing a democracy, his ethics may often be questionable, although they are essentially adapted to a useful end. This not only requires, but insists on, the harnessing of certain liberties, if they stray beyond their bounds. Yet this must not be taken to mean that every action of the Senator's is of unquestioned standing; I merely suggest that "he" not be considered with a biased opinion, either all good or all bad, but I plead with the press in general, particularly...
Prime Minister-brought to the surface a longtime struggle for the succession. There are two chief candidates: Transvaal Boss Johannes Gerhardus Strydom (who recently changed the spelling of his name to Strijdom because it is "more Boerlike"), and pipe-puffing Theophilus Dönges, Minister of the Interior. Strijdom (pronounced Stray-dom) is a fanatic apostle of racial segregation, who represents the extreme anti-British, anti-Negro and anti-Jewish wing of the party. He put up a hand-picked candidate for the Cape Province job. Dönges, who has the support of the Broederbond (a secret society dominated...
Defenders of photography as a true art form retort that no work of art is possible without, to some extent, copying outside models, or without the intervention of some accident-the chance ray of light on a sitter, the stray bit of dialogue overheard in the street.

He drove them through null gates set up in right and left field, losing two points for failing to usher a stray ewe through one gate. Finally, Rock worked them all over to a small pen which Allen had opened. Glaring fiercely, the dog got four sheep to back slowly inside. However, a rebellious old ewe charged at Rock. Without even "popping his jaws" (snapping with feigned ferocity) or guiding...
...Eager Helpers. Kinsey's real laboratory is the whole U.S. He will go to any amount of trouble to collect case histories from a region, a cultural group, an occupational class or a religious sect which may not be adequately represented in his samples. Stray individuals figure less and less in his work. Kinsey commonly accepts an invitation to address (without fee) an organization such as a conference of Y.W.C.A. secretaries: After he has described the nature and purpose of his study, he calls for volunteers to sign up for interviews. He often gets a response as high...
