...somewhat smaller degree of success in the recent K. of C. meet gave the varsity a warning of what may be coming later in the season. Yale was outstanding in both the one-mile and two-mile relays, in the former event handing the Crimson its first K. of C. loss in six years...
Largely responsible for last week's success was Dwight Eisenhower himself. Pink-cheeked and purple-tied, Ike found his head table seat like a Rotary Club regular, ate filet mignon (rare) while 480 paying guests struggled with minute steak. He chatted amiably with tablemates, helped pass along scribbled suggestions from the floor for his own postdessert question-and-answer session to Press Club President John V.

Closing out a nine-day tour that took him from Washington to six other U.S. cities. Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan last week returned to the nation's capital.

But as Schlesinger tells it. the outcome was almost always success: he even purports to show something good-a sense of solidarity-resulting from the wreck of NRA. Like his hero F.D.R.. Author Schlesinger proves himself a thoroughgoing pragmatist; he sticks close to events, rarely offers perspective on them. There is little effort to explore the philosophical roots of the New Deal, and there is no attempt at long-range assessment beyond the reiterated...
