Getting into a lower level social science course is like getting into the World Series. Three of the five courses offered this year held sectioning meetings Saturday morning, two on an absolute first-come-first-served basis. The third made exceptions only for sophomores who had expressed interest in the course last spring. An estimated 600 students were turned away from Soc Sci 2, 5, and 8; and because of the length of the sectioning lines, striking out on one left the undergraduate no chance for the other...
...know, Persia is my business-I might say my life-which means that I read the account [of Iran and the Shah] in TIME with probably as much interest as anybody. I am writing immediately to tell you that it was a remarkable job, and it is a subject on which I am not easily pleased, having growled, as you know, about previous accounts. But this is comprehensive, realistic, just; it is penetrating and sympathetic also: a remarkable performance-far and away the best I have seen about contemporary Iran.

In polls showing presidential preferences among Republican voters during 1959 and the early months of 1960, Lodge consistently ran third, after Nixon and Rockefeller, though he had done nothing at all to stir up political interest in himself. One G.O.P. politician who did grasp the meaning of those polls was Richard Nixon who long before the conventions decided to make his stand on foreign policy. That made Lodge an obvious vice-presidential prospect, and Lodge was plainly receptive...
Touré was happy to accept Peking's offer of a $25 million, no-interest loan. But, already adept at the begging bowl, he was careful not to join in the open attacks on the U.S. or to mention any other Western nation by name when deploring imperialism. To do so would destroy the chance of wangling a bit of Western aid to supplement and offset the swag he had picked up from the eager Communists...
