Born in Middlesboro, Kentucky--"just north of the Cumberland Gap and Daniel Boone country"--Price attended Vanderbilt University, majoring in history and political science and graduating in 1931. After a year off on the Nashville Tennessean, he continued his studies as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford...
...meagre, when one regards the ferocious and peevish attack of certain Deans upon the Class of 1961. Since, by the continual assertion of noted Deans and Officers at Registration, Harvard classes have been growing progressively more intelligent since about 1936, it is necessary to conclude that by 1961 the gap has doubtless become so great that Deans and others no longer have any real standards by which to judge more recent classes, and must confine themselves to their predictions and prophetical calculations, which in this case so pitifully deceived them. It were better that they should look upon such things...

Penn pulled ahead 40 to 33 in the early stages of the second period, but the Crimson rapidly closed this gap. McClellan's jump shot at 7 1/2 minutes put the varsity ahead...
...proposal runs head on into accepted U.S. strategic doctrine as evolved by the Pentagon and defended by Defense Secretary McElroy before recent hearings of the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee (TIME, Feb. 9).

Beyond that, the solid-fuel Minuteman is still in the primary stages, is by no means the sure gap-closer for 1964 that Administration estimates indicate. The point: the Administration ought not to bet so heavily in strategic doctrine upon a weapon still in its infancy. And the U.S. deterrent to war will not deter unless it is backed up by enough protected missiles to strike the retaliatory blow...
