...succumbing to the "temptations of colorful characterization." Argued Clark, from the perspective of a longtime (1945-49) U.S. Attorney General: "Surely one does not have a constitutional right to have access to the Government's military secrets . . . No one reading the [majority] opinion will doubt that ... its broad sweep speaks in prophecy. Let us hope the winds may change. If they do not, the present temporary debacle will turn into a rout of our internal security...
...merrily did Harvard row-row-row its boats up the Thames that the undefeated heavyweight varsity swamped the Thames Rowing Club, and the lightweights beat London University, to bring off the first sweep of both major events by a U.S. challenger in the history of the 120-year-old Henley Royal Regatta. ¶ The Boston Red Sox were last in the American League race, and to Owner Tom Yawkey the next move was obvious.

It approved a hike in the discount rate on loans to commercial banks from 3% to 3½% for five member banks: New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Dallas. The new discount rate is the highest since the fall of 1957, is bound to restrict even further the tightening money market. The Federal National Mortgage Association braced itself for tighter money by reducing the price it will pay for Government underwritten mortgages from 99% to 97% of face value...
