...spans all ranges of human endeavor: economic, social, political, and religious. However, "the fear of being frank and outspoken is much greater among politicians; they have the feeling of a real need for conformity."

It is this need, he points out, which leads to "a paternalistic authoritarian attitude" on the part of a government which "rests on the assumption that a man will believe in communism if he is exposed to it.

If he succeeds in luring away Cooper and Anderson in 1959, Buchholz & Co. may give the U.S. its best chance in five years to recover...
Miami could also take pride in two men who had coached there and gone on to bigger things. Ohio State's Woody Hayes, who coached at Miami in 1949-50, made his team a season-long threat in the Big Ten. Sid Gillman, Miami's coach in 1944-47, has steered the Los Angeles Rams into second place in the N.F.L. Western Division...
