...quite well in this report, for with very few exceptions the members of the faculty interviewed state frankly that they would rather be here than at any other university. They like Harvard's devotion to excellence and feel pride in her recognized standing among universities. They enjoy the twofold responsibility for both teaching and research, though this report says less about teaching than one might wish. . . On the other side of the ledger is the fact that almost all members of the faculty interviewed deplore demands upon them to perform administrative duties. . .

That Brownell made unprecedented public use of secret FBI files was overshadowed in the public mind by the fact that he had uncovered a spy high up in Truman's Treasury Department. Brownell followed this exposure with requests for "new and powerful constitutional weapons" to fight subversion. They included death...
...Chantey After a steady diet of three months of tennis in Australia, Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas, top U.S. amateurs, were obviously fed up. Being fed up, they blew up-and with a resounding bang. The Americans' trouble was twofold:1) they were losing instead of winning, and 2) they were losing in Australia...
