Four inches worth of snow should come as a midget challenge to the maintenance departments of the University and the City of Cambridge charged with the task of keeping highways and byways clear for the pedestrian. But, with the annual reliability of the stadium ticket crisis and the Dean's Christmas-present reminder that New Year's Day ends vacationing, the snow and slush flasco has once again come upon the Square...
...there was a better college basketball team anywhere than the Billikens of St. Louis University, the Billikens hadn't met it yet. In New Orleans last month, they unhorsed the University of Kentucky wonders.* Back home in St. Louis, ticket-sellers turned away 4,000 customers the night they beat Bradley University.

He Was twice mayor of Minneapolis, the man who helped put together Minnesota's humpty-dumpty Democratic-Farmer-Labor ticket, the clever and determined tactician who led and won the civil rights fight at the Democratic Convention last summer. One thing, above all, explains his way of thinking: all of his adult life has been spent in the era of Franklin Roosevelt. His dad, and the Dust Bowl taught him most of what he knows...
