...fight the loyalty provision is a tactical one. So long as the University thought there was a chance that legislative action would remove the affidavit requirement, it accepted the funds; but since this hope has at least temporarily vanished, strategy has had to be changed. Obviously, the University, as well as other schools and academic associations should support new legislation that attempts to remove the oath. Last year, Harvard's ambivalent attitude was cited in Congress as a part of an argument that the loyalty oath was acceptable to even the best schools; but clear support of measures to remove...
Return of the Pros. The Los Angeles Dodgers had moved in an aura of Hollywood make-believe all season long. Too many experiments were working out too well. Brought up from Spokane, a gutty little Negro shortstop named Maury Wills turned into a fielding flash. Pulled off the bench, boyish-faced Jim Gilliam, 30, filled the big hole at third. Picked up from St. Louis, craggy-browed Outfielder Moon, 29, lifted the team with his slashing play. The big pitcher turned out to be Roger Craig, 28, a lanky, laconic righthander, who had a horrendous 5-17 record last year...
...compact Edsel called Comet. In a year Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac will come in both compact and regular sizes. All told, Detroit is betting $700 million on these cars-about $150 million on the Corvair, $100 million each for Falcon and Valiant, $350 million for the "bigger" compacts. How well this huge gamble pays off will affect not only Detroit, but automakers and buyers round the world. Says West Germany's Heinz Nordhoff, president of Volkswagen, with some understatement: "1960 will be the most interesting year in the history of the U.S. automobile industry...
Hopefully, Ed Cole says: "The bulk of compact-car sales will probably come from an expansion of the market." But he is well aware that the compacts are bound to cut into sales of existing models. "If our Corvair moves some other cars off the road, well, that's too bad. But any time we bring out something that gets the focus of attention, it helps business. Anything that stimulates interest in autos is bound to stimulate the economy...
...hard-reigning president, Harlow Curtice. But sharp, inquiring "Red" Curtice was a tough man to sell. To do it, Cole would have to present him with a prototype car and an argument virtually without flaw-at a carefully selected time when the market was just beginning to ripen. Cole well knew that Curtice could ask him hundreds of questions-and if he did not have all the answers, Curtice would veto the idea right there...
