Black Eye. On the picket lines there was some grumbling last week because Murray had held out so long on the union shop. But he had a pressing reason: he wanted to get a union shop before the 1952 election. Now that the pattern of Government intervention in labor disputes is so thoroughly established, Murray feels that he needs a union shop to protect his gains in case an unfavorable Government climate may lie ahead. "We're stronger than ever before," crowed one C.I.O. executive after the settlement. "Now let them elect two Eisenhowers...
...well expressed at West University Place by a plump young matron holding a little girl in her lap. "My first reaction," she said, "was that I didn't want my child to be a guinea pig. But then I got to thinking." Other mothers nodded, recognizing the pattern of their own afterthoughts. "It can't hurt them," the plump one went on, "so we haven't lost a thing in coming. We've got a 50-50 chance with each child of getting gamma globulin, and if we get it we know it might be some...
...kids we're getting here all follow roughly the same pattern. They aren't wild-eyed ogres. They don't have sexual orgies (maybe marijuana jazzes them up, but heroin takes the sexual drive away, and 99% of our cases are going to be heroin addicts).

The 53 were as varied as Texas itself. If there was any pattern, it was an apparent preference for the middle of the modern road. There were carefully drafted portraits, impressionistic canvases studded with sand and pebbles, meticulous still lifes, primitive religious scenes, paintings of mountains, barn dances, graveyards, oil wells, grasshoppers, madonnas and cathedrals. There was only a smattering of out & out abstraction...
Fortunately, since Harvard still requires no oaths, except those connected with payment of debts to the University, there is no one pattern of action that one can recommend to all the men graduating today. One of the University's greatest attractions for its students is the diversity of views that they can find and of paths of study they can follow and this diversity must naturally lead to great variety in the men that Harvard produces. If we might venture a generalization, however, about one characteristic common to most of those the University turns out, it is that they...
