...ruling does more than strengthen Memorial Church. It settles one of the chief points of discussion of the past few weeks and allows more constructive consideration of the general question of religion's place at Harvard.

His party purge, which was supposed to shake out the old Stalinists and strengthen his leadership, has bogged down into a sort of cataloguing census. The blighting bureaucrats Gomulka hoped to get rid of have clung like leeches to their party membership while the workers who were supposed to be the base of the new party have streamed out.
