...said--and on the front page in large type. Over several centuries, Harvard has stood for one thing if for nothing else--integrity. I, for one, consider this sort of mud slinging to be inexcusable and unworthy of any representative of Harvard. I also think it marks the lowest ebb in my experiences in CRIMSON editorial responsibility. Let every officer of the CRIMSON bear in mind that tolerance of such greasy practices reflects on them as well as on Lottman. When does freedom of expression become license? When will the CRIMSON regain its proper status as being a reasonable representation...
Fortnight ago, a Gallup Poll of Canada reported the Tories at their lowest ebb since their '58 sweep, and Nobel Peace Prizewinner Lester ("Mike") Pearson's resurgent Liberals sprinting ahead. The standings on Gallup's fever chart: Liberals, 43%; Tories, 37%. Way down on the chart with 12%, but making headway: ex-Saskatchewan Premier T. C. Douglas' New Democratic Party. It was formed last summer, on the rough model of Britain's Labor Party, by a marriage between the old socialist CCF Party and the 1,150,000-member Canadian Labor Congress...
Labor's escape from the wilderness coincides with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's steady decline from his 1959 popularity peak, when prosperity, his confrontation with Khrushchev, and a top London advertising agency all burnished the image of "MacWonder."

Few expect a general election much before the government's term runs out in 1964. But Hugh Gaitskell, as his foes ruefully testify...
Some Yale students up for The Game pronounced the name of the new theatre "Low-Ebb," but Yalies have no room to talk. At Yale there is only one undergraduate are producing organization, the Dreamt. There are no "outside" shows. The result is often productions technically superb and dramatically bland. Harvard drama in the past has successfully avoided this monolithic structure with its resulting inflexibility. Worthwhile productions have been staged in unlikely places through the intense efforts of a handful of interested students...
...Republican claim that U.S. leadership had halted the march of Communism, he answered with the charge that too little had been achieved for the U.S. to feel safe, that cold-war initiative had been lost to the Soviets, and that as a result, U.S. prestige had dropped to low ebb. Against Republicans' warnings that a Democratic victory would bring a new wave of inflation and Government control, he preached a doctrine of strong federal action in the fields of education, economy, farm policy, housing, unemployment and welfare-promising price stability as well...
