...Student Council last night voted fairly conclusively that it wants to remain in the National Student Association for another year. Over the usual protests from Merom Brachman '58 and Theodore Moscowitz '58, the Council agreed, 12 to 4, to renew its membership in the organization...
...Pitch. As usual, in the familiar one-two punch of Soviet diplomacy, threats were accompanied by the offer of "peace." Khrushchev snarled a warning at Turkey (see below), tossed a few ominous remarks in the direction of West Germany ("Adenauer will not be able to start things the way Hitler did''), growled at the U.S. itself: "If a war should break out . . . socialism will live on while capitalism will not remain...
More than usual, the Series revolved around the achievement of one man. While the Yanks poked at his low, sharp-breaking pitches like tired biddies beating carpets, Burdette licked the Yanks three times, to become the first pitcher to start and win three games in a single Series since the Cleveland Indians' Spitballer Stan Coveleskie spattered the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1920.

When Perri sleeps, she dreams in a combination of live and animated effects, just like other movie stars, and the dream figures engage in the usual elaborate ballet-though of course they are not people, but dear little bunnies. Producer Disney has even provided Perri with a love interest: a bushy-tailed charmer named Porro. As Porro chatters away at Perri in squirrel language, Narrator Winston Hibler translates the scene in a voice so warm...
