From Chicago, U.S.A. came a turbulent uproar. In a year when pundits were talking about "the American consensus" and the "reign of moderation," the Democratic immoderates charged full tilt into the nominating arena and set up a clangor that all but drowned out the normal sounds of the nation. The planning for next week's Republican Convention seemed to fall off to a whisper. And even the extraordinary White House meeting of the President, the Secretary of State and congressional leaders on the Suez crisis (see Foreign Relations) took on some aspects of a sideshow because the top Democrats...

It was provoked when it learned that Air Force commanders (dressed in Bermuda shorts that the Air Force is introducing as its summer uniform) had staged a remarkable public-relations session in Puerto Rico. Among those on hand was Brigadier General Robert Lee (God Is My Co-Pilot) Scott, fired with zeal in his new job as information director for the Air Force.

Lowell and Winthrop each had three skaters chosen for the game; Dudley, two; and Eliot...
Captain George Harrington will lead his freshman team in the season's final game. Griff McClellan, Jim Smith, Alex Christ, and Bob Repetto are probable starters. The Crimson carries a 10-4 record into the tilt, after upsetting Brown last Wednesday, 82 to 75. The Yardlings will depend chiefly on their height and rebounding ability which has shown to be their main asset throughout the year. Harrington has led the team from the backcourt with his playmaking...
