...interested in your discussion of [CBS President] Frank Stanton's attitude toward Person to Person [Nov. 2], and feel inclined to take up the cudgels for Mr. Murrow. I was on this program two years ago. When you state that it is "vaguely" rehearsed, you are right. "Vaguely" is the word. I live in the country; therefore it takes a number of days to cable a house and build various steel towers.

In effect these students would be obtaining a pre-professional training, but the supporters of this proposal feel that this is the only way whereby the interest of the economics-oriented student can be prevented from obstruction...
...Huck Finn and the runaway slave Jim on a Mississippi raft. Some local men, searching for escaped slaves, ask Huck if his companion is "white or black." Huck invokes the old tall-tale weapon, and convinces the men that his companion is his smallpox-afflicted "pop." The tale takes on fantastic proportions, but the authorities take in every word and even give Huck two $20 gold pieces before fleeing the pestilence...
