...doctors keep on prescribing tranquilizers. Said Dr. Leonard Weil, president of the Dade County Academy of General Practice: "The physician knows that if he doesn't give them someone else will . . . Only a small number of people can get psychiatric help, so a lot of emotional problems are thrown back to the family physician; he turns to tranquilizers that he might not use if he had more time." In Beverly Hills a busy psychiatrist confessed that he sometimes pops down a tranquilizer himself to prepare for the nerve-wrenching drive home from the office. Said he: "I wish...
...pretty rare thing when a President, and particularly President Eisenhower, puts on the pressure. Mr. Roosevelt, a former Governor of New York, learned how to do his pressuring sub rosa, and Mr. Hall has probably learned the same technique. But Ike, an affable fellow, hasn't. He has thrown himself right into the middle of a nice, friendly fight in the Empire State, and it seems unlikely that he will emerge unscathed.

The problem will now be thrown into the laps of the selection committee while the only thing the varsity can do is to look as good as possible against Yale...
...board charges, to take effect next fall. Fired by this added incentive, hundreds of Tech students began to gather along Memorial Drive late Saturday night. By 1 a.m. they had lit bonfires along the roadside, and filled the air with vegetables, empty milk cartons, bottles and bags of water thrown from dormitory windows. Hastily assembled loudspeaker systems taunted local police summoned to the scene of the riots. The disturbance seemed at an end shortly before 2 a.m., but it subsequently began anew at around three o'clock. Once more police converged on the area, and this time they ended...
