Employees of Cincinnati's Enquirer struck a soft spot in the hearts of newsmen everywhere nearly four years ago when they raised $7,600,000 to rescue the paper from sale to the opposition and to give themselves a share in its ownership (TIME, June 9, 1952 et seq.). Last week, though the Enquirer (circ. 206,408) is Cincinnati's most prosperous daily, the experiment came to failure. A block of securities that ensures working control of the paper went on sale to the highest bidder...
Moreover, in Mr. Arnold's concern for Veritas, has he not forgotten that in Harvard's seal (itself a matter of no little controversy), Veritas is encircled by the words "Christo et Ecclesiae" Donald Kocher grDv...
Caucasian officialdom in Montgomery, Ala. (pop. 120,000) moved drastically last week to break the twelve-week-old Negro boycott of the Jim Crow city buses (TIME, Jan. 16 et seq.).

But by the time Francis Case sat down, he had shaken the Senate to its foundations...
Three hours later, while furious Frenchmen circled his refuge in the Palais d'Eté, honking their horns, Mollet admitted shakily to newsmen: "I saw in their faces the look of total miscomprehension and hatred." His hands trembled, and his voice was little more than a whisper. His first retreat was to accept the resignation of 79-year-old General Georges Catroux, whom he had appointed Minister for Algeria (TIME, Feb. 13). Catroux' appointment had been a political blunder in the first place. To Algerian French, Catroux was "the liquidator'' of France's presence...
