...Hartford Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams explained the President's position vis-à-vis his party. Said Adams: "There is one accomplishment that I happen to know the President of the U.S. hopes to achieve during these four years. It is this-that the Republican Party shall be built into an effective and dominating force in American politics. He speaks of this, not in any narrow partisan sense, but from his point of view that a national need exists for an organism that reflects the platform, principles and objectives for which he has stood."

...explain this? I am sure that the improvement is much greater than can be explained by the rise in numbers seeking entry to institutions of higher learning (about two-thirds since pre-war). I am indeed aware that Harvard's lag in the acceptance of students vis-a-vis the national rise is an important consideration. Any policy of the future must take account of the possibilities of improving quality through absorbing a smaller percentage of additional recruits than the nation.

...article written for the weekly newspaper Rheinischer Merkur. The story concerned the time Tito received his first marshal's uniform hat as a gift from the Russians. Wrote Waugh: "I well remember the day when Tito wore it for the first time. It was on the island of Vis, where he lived in August 1944, under the protection of our Navy and our Air Force. The hat was not made to order, according to English standards. It did not fit him at all. But Tito waddled over the island, proud as a dog with two tails...
