Squash fans won't see much of a battle but will have a chance to watch one of the best squads in the country when the varsity meets Williams at 3 p.m. today in Hemenway Gym. The Crimson should wallop the Ephmen...
Hollow Threats. But strikes, and threats of strikes, carry less wallop than they used to as industry relies more and more on machines and finds itself overloaded with productive capacity. Strikers recently stayed out for six months at the big Climax Molybdenum mine in Colorado; but the company, using supervisory help and semiautomated gear, was able to produce up to 65% capacity. Even the worst strike of recent times made little dent in the company ledgers; in 1959, the year of the 116-day steel strike, steelmakers earned 7% more than...
...strategic planning, the importance of strategic bases overseas has waned in the last couple of years, and will continue to diminish in the years ahead. Polaris missile submarines have given the U.S. a mighty strategic wallop that is independent of fixed bases overseas.

Unconscious, he was rushed to Hillingdon Hospital-and his enforced return to the U.S. was off again. The delay was only the latest of Soblen's ingenious, utterly determined efforts to thwart U.S. justice...
Today, the tale of Tristan's illicit love affair with Isolde, bride of his uncle, King Marke, and of the lovers deaths-Tristan from a dueling wound and Isolde from grief-no longer packs the emotional wallop it had for Wagner's generation. Indifferently played, the familiar music sometimes has an almost soporific effect. But at the Bayreuth Festival last week, audiences responded to a stunning new Tristan und Isolde that gave Wagner's paean to love some of the shock value it must have had when its composer trembled for his hearers' sanity...
