...Yankee Imperialism." The Roosevelt Corollary doubtless prevented European interventions in the Caribbean. But it also did grave damage in U.S. relations with Latin America. Denunciations of "Yankee imperialism'' became oratorical routine for every aspiring Latin American politician...
...with three other post-debs (including her sister Nancy), Ceezee appeared in a cabaret show at the Ritz roof garden as part of an act called "Boston's American Beauties." Her theatrical ambitions were doubtless enhanced by her heavy beau of that time, Movie Actor Victor Mature, who was stationed in Boston in the Coast Guard. In 1944, when she was 24, Lee Shubert gave her a job as show girl in the Broadway revival of the Ziegfeld Follies.

As a result, some graduate students are doubtless doing better on the inside than they could on the outside. Instructorships paying $6,000 or so a year are common; a couple with two instructorships is in clover. In Palo Alto, one couple will move next month into a comfortable new house paid for mostly by a generous Stanford stipend. And hardly anyone can resist a "traveling fellowship"-the splendid...
