...soon as the colony is reasonably snug, the ten colonists (or those who survive) will start a project that will doubtless be close to their hearts: getting back to earth. In the clutter of equipment on their dusty lunar plain, they will find enough rocket engines, heat shields, navigation instruments and other parts to assemble five return vehicles, each of which can blast two men off the moon, return them to the earth and land them on its surface in, hopefully, good condition...
...fashion human flesh out of mysterious chemicals. At another séance, at which the spirits became very annoyed, witnesses reported that "Willie Yeats was banging his head on the table as though he had a fit, muttering to himself." Yeats sometimes primed the medium via telepathy, but he doubtless was not amused by the "seer" who responded: "I have a vision of a square pond, but I can see your thought, and you expect me to see an oblong pond." On another humorously humorless occasion, the poet deputed a vampire to plague one of his enemies. The reckless, insane...
...theory is doubtless too fanciful: Viereck would perhaps claim that he wrote his play because he had something to say to modern man.

I challenged her to name one decent idea in the first two acts, and she hemmed and hawed and hemmed again.

But it was relief without joy-for the cease-fire in Laos came as a cold war defeat for the U.S. A 14-nation peace conference, scheduled to convene in Geneva in mid-May, will doubtless declare Laos "neutral." But Western experts, with discouraging unanimity, agree that such a Laos-with a Communist sympathizer at the head of the government, with Communists in posts of governmental power, and with Communist troops already holding half the nation-will quickly go behind the Iron Curtain...
Graduates of all sorts and undergraduates of the better sort will doubtless spring to the defense of sacred custom. They will fill pages of the Alumni Bulletin with eloquently anguished letters. They will speak from blind, unreasoned prejudice, and it is well that they will do so. A College is not a mere trafficking in books and lectures, a simple commerce in examinations and parchments: it is a way of life, encompassing...
