Harold Stassen, if he does nothing else in a political career singular for its proportion of frustration, will at least have forced one of the most important policy decisions of this Administration. Sometime this week, as a result of his disagreements with Secretary Dulles, Stassen will be able to present his views on disarmament to the National Security Council...
Perhaps poets like T. S. Eliot (whose cat Macavity was a being of singular depravity) or those who are as sensible as Dr. Johnson (he had a cat called Hodge and he fed it oysters) or as mad as Edward Lear (who had a cat called Foss which resembled an owl) should be permitted to write about cats.

Gunpowder or not, the Western influence, matched by Japan's own singular drive and energy, is giving the country the highest living standard in the Far East. And the living standard in Tokyo is higher than anywhere else in the four main rich and fertile islands of Japan. This, in part, is responsible for Tokyo's spectacular population increase, which now averages about 250,000 annually...
