...Dean Peters. As simply as possible, the organization is as follows: a University Committee on Student Affairs sets policy for the Dean. The Dean's office is responsible to the vice-president for Student Affairs, who works with a Trustee Committee of Student Affairs. The University Committee is chosen by the faculty senate (all those holding the rank of assistant professor or higher), the President, and the Undergraduate Council. In cases which demand disciplinary action, the University Committee of Discipline convenes. This committee consists of five men from the faculty or administration and three students from either...
...qualified Negro juror. Twenty-two other Mississippi counties with similarly heavy Negro populations are also without Negro voters. Taking note of these statistics, U.S. Circuit Judge Richard T. Rives, Alabama-born, ordered Goldsby retried within eight months (after the Supreme Court ruling) before "a legally constituted jury" (i.e., one chosen from a panel from which Negroes have not been excluded), threatened to grant Goldsby's plea for a writ of habeas corpus if the state failed to comply.

Picking years chosen to fit their point, Moscow's statistical wizards even "prove" that between 1952 and 1958 (a U.S. recession year), Russia registered steady increases in production of pig iron, steel, coal and cotton textiles, while the U.S. lost ground; absolute production figures, which show the U.S. far ahead in every important industrial and mining product except coal and iron ore, are discreetly left in the background or totally ignored.* But in the last fortnight, as he meandered through Siberia on his way home to Moscow from Peking, Khrushchev could not avoid seeing for himself that his country...

Leaving a fortune behind, they took only $28,000 worth of jewelry, and for the fourth and last time locked their doors behind them. Their record take: goods worth $700,000, chosen so judiciously for size and value that the whole caboodle would fit in a suitcase...
...Indeed I was not looking for one." Last week, as if to drive Nikita's point home, Moscow published the fattest statistical yearbook in Soviet history, a 958-page tome filled with figures carefully chosen to indicate that Russia is far closer to outstripping the West than many an Uzbek peasant might think. For one thing, assert Russia's statisticians, Russia is producing more people than the U.S. Russia's birth rate, according to the yearbook, was 25.3 per thousand in 1958 v. a mere 24.3 per thousand for the U.S., and only 7.2 Russians per thousand...
