With the change in the Radcliffe position there has come a new attitude toward the Annex Commencement. Functioning members of the Joint Education Program, Cliffedwellers have come to be viewed as participating students who in general, unspecified ways, follow the same rules as their Harvard colleagues and are just as likely to end up with a degree. Taking the same courses, the same exams as the men from the Houses, Radcliffe students evidently can be graduated too. This is indeed a change from the days when those in the Annex were considered part of the local scenery, appearing in time...
...Toward Frankfurt. Comments on McCloy's appointment as U.S. High Commissioner in Germany last week came from varied sources but were monotonous in content. George Marshall, Robert Lovett, Historian Douglas Southall Freeman, British Socialist Hugh Dalton, all said, in effect: "They couldn't have picked a better man."

Fishbein's name was not mentioned until the next-to-last paragraph. Then there was a suave tribute to his "genius...
...Change. Nobody was fooled-least of all the liberals who lean toward just a little harmless bit of "socialization" in medicine-into thinking that Fishbein's firing meant a change in fundamental A.M.A. attitude. The tipoff came three days later, when the delegates passed the buck on approval of the controversial prepaid medical plans run by laymen back to the local societies-in the past, the bitterest enemies of prepaid plans. The House, without committing itself, passed along a set of principles to "guide" the local societies in this old fight...
