...American evolution from the bottom up was in danger. We found the economy's growth hobbled by successive layers of regulations, controls, subsidies and taxes imposed in past emergencies. We found defense spending being used partly to buy defense, partly as a crutch to support an unsound economy, thereby endangering both. We found an economy out of step with the nation it had to serve...
Uniqueness of Christ. Dr. Cross finds many of Dupont-Sommer's views "flamboyant," his theses "methodologically unsound," i.e., Cross thinks the French scholar may have been misled by later Christian interpolations in some Essene documents.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia reversed Durham's conviction on a technicality, then held...
...solution seems theoretically simple to those advocating non-resident membership with the houses. If the commuter is given connection with a house, then the problem of letting him "rub elbows with undergraduates from all sections of the country" is presumably resolved. As Dean Bender said, "It is basically unsound to isolate a group on an economic or geographic basic."5The locker system in Dudley's basement is one of the small but numerous inconveniences that hagglers the commuter...
