...Michigan, ex-Newsman Blair Moody faces the natural trouble of a Democrat who took over a Republican's expiring term in a Republican state. Moody has been cruising along the byways to get acquainted, standing before audiences for hours answering questions. The greatest threat to him is that the Republicans may get a candidate named Vandenberg. One possibility is Arthur H. Vandenberg Jr., son of the man whose death last year sent Moody to the Senate. A less likely possibility: General Hoyt Vandenberg, 53, chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force and nephew of the late Senator...

At the Congress of Vienna, which laid the foundations for a hundred years of Pax Britannica, he put on a classic display of balance-of-power diplomacy: to counter the threat of Russo-Prussian hegemony in Europe, Castlereagh threw Britain's weight on the side of the former enemy, France. Britons blamed Castlereagh for the economic distress following the Napoleonic wars, the neglected veterans of Waterloo and the martyrs of Peterloo (hundreds of hungry English weavers shot down by the militia...
Aside from these two, however, the visitors appear fairly weak. Gene Whitlock could show well in the 600, but Ronnle Berman and Ed Grustsner are expected to take the first two places for the Crimson. Dick DiLugio however is definite threat in the high jump, having bettered six feet two inches twice this year Yale defeated Brown 69 to 30 last week...
