...Democrats, apparently riding the crest of the wave, headed for blind disaster on some still-distant shore? One Democrat who thinks so is Harvard Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., brain-truster and speechwriter for Adlai Stevenson through two campaigns. Modern Democratic bosses are deliberately ignoring a treasure of intellectual-liberal candidates in favor of "mediocre party hacks," Schlesinger writes in the New Republic. Case in point: Tammany's passing over of onetime Secretary of the Air Force Thomas K. Finletter in New York to hand the U.S. Senate nomination to District Attorney Frank Hogan, who "has hardly voiced...

When exploded under the surface of the ocean, a one-kiloton explosion sends sound waves 6,000 miles through the water...
...experiment has hardly begun, but as each Department initiates its reforms one will soon be able to evaluate in a more sober maner the program which marks the start of a new wave of educational reform at Harvard. On this score, two factors--one unfortunate, one heartening--emerge as serious facets of the new look of Harvard education...
