This year it was the "impressionistic" doorbell-ringer Samuel Lubell (TIME, Oct. 15), who climbed farthest out on the limb. While making no percentage predictions, he correctly forecast an Ike landslide and added that Ike would take all the big industrial states. Moreover he pinpointed the newest political trend: the breakup of the former Democratic majorities in the nation's big cities. But Gallup and Roper hit as close to perfection as anybody could reasonably expect. In their final forecasts, published just before Election Day, the Big Two had Ike landsliding with 59.5% (Gallup) and 60% (Roper). Actual...
...believe that movies can make the stories and sometimes even the spirit of the Bible come alive for otherwise indifferent millions. Other churchmen are appalled to find Scripture reduced to sex and circuses, to see spiritual messages clothed in the well-publicized flesh of Hollywood stars, regard the whole trend as part of a vulgarization of religion. This week the biggest religious movie ever. Cecil B. De-Mille's The Ten Commandments (TIME, Nov. 12). opened across the U.S.-and the clergy seemed to be applauding...
Nowhere has the miniaturization trend brought greater rewards than in electronics. In place of old-style vacuum tubes, science has developed miniature tubes and tiny transistors no bigger than a shoelace tip to perform most of the same functions (TIME, March 12). The soldered-wire mazes of pre-war radio sets are giving way to electronic circuits printed on blotter-thin panels. Electric motors have shrunk to the size of a man's thumb, delicate gyroscopes to the size of a bottle stopper...
...most conspicuous example of this false and American idealism is in Giant's handling of the segregation issue, through the somewhat less flagrant problem of Texan prejudice against Mexican-Americans. The movie does depict the trend in Mexican-Texan relations correctly--only the old settlers do not understand the "messican;" the new generation accepts and even encourages him. But as usual, Hollywood has oversimplified, exaggerating the problem in order to come up with a strikingly optimistic conclusion. No Mexican-American would ever be ejected from any restaurant as in the movie. On the other hand, no son of a Benedict...
First, we examined records of the games against Tufts, Cornell, Columbia, and Dartmouth. There were two symmetrical trends: 1.) Harvard has won every alternate and even game, and has lost every odd game; 2) the Crimson has won exactly half of the home games and half of the away games. After projecting these trends as methods of analysis onto the remaining schedule of four games, we quickly saw two possibilities. By the first, Harvard must win the Princeton and Yale games, the sixth and eighth, and lose those against Penn and Brown. By the second, the Crimson must...
