...Harvard tutor, a staunch Democrat, likes to call it the "Ripley Society." "I don't know whether to believe them or not," he explains. And why should he? The idea of a group of Harvard men forming the core of a Republican group seems to contradict the very core of the conventional wisdom. And the idea of such a small group receiving national attention (the Cambridge-Boston chapter is only about 80 strong) seems absurd...
...lack of warmth. Admittedly, he is a very reserved man, spoken of as a saint, but if his final resolution to stand by his half-mad wife is to be believable, he must seem thoroughly sympathetic as well. Occasionally Toye managed fits of humanity, but they only seemed to contradict his general callousness...
...shacked that HSA did not find my letter to the Crimson of January 20, 1965 worthy of a reply. Since that time I have obtained more facts concerning the actual host of chartering airplanes to Europe, and two of these facts directly contradict information given by Dustin Burke.

Gentle Restriction. The Republican-oriented Post has pledged Oliphant the same within-bounds latitude that Democrat Conrad enjoyed. "He's not allowed to contradict editorial policy," said Editorial Page Editor Mort Stern, "but he's within broad limits. It's never a question of 'do this.' " Cartoonist Oliphant is not likely to chafe at this gentle restriction. The Post endorsed Kennedy in 1960 and will back Johnson this year; Oliphant's attitudes are similar. "I tend to lean Democratic now," he said. "But I don't believe a cartoonist should come...
