...left wing, he was well aware of the force exerted on middle-of-the-roaders by the leftish press. "We are now trying," says Rightist Chamberlain, "to pull the middle-of-the-road back to the right." Thus far the Freeman's pull has been hard, but uneven. The magazine has pointed out why the Administration's weak foreign policy has failed more often than it has succeeded, has relentlessly fought Communism, and every form of statism, inveighed against materialist influences in U.S. courts and education.

This should be another good year for the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra. The season's opening concert last Thursday demonstrated again that there is a group of enthusiastic, intelligent young musicians in the University community who like to play and who fear nothing. The performances, although uneven, were definitely higher than the usual student level, and there were moments of real brilliance. Russell Stanger and Aaron Copland shared the conductor's duties, an innovation which was not totally successful...
