...Nationalist official who referred in public to the Queen as "the madam in England," dredged up a 1944 statement of current Foreign Minister Eric Louw: "As long as we remain in the British Commonwealth, we shall continually be hindered by British liberalism in our efforts to solve the color problem and the Jewish question." In reply, Verwoerd sought to mollify South Africans of English background with a mimeographed letter to a million whites: "The struggle between Eastern and Western nations is such that both groups will grant and concede anything, including the white man of Africa, his possessions and rights...
...Minute. How do they fare? As 3,567,000 students jammed U.S. campuses last week-with nearly twice as many due by 1970-the problem was numbers. From 4% in 1900, the proportion of college-age Americans who go to college has soared to 39% (five times as much as in Russia).

Buckminster Fuller planned a dome to shelter Manhattan, and Hans Poelzig a towering...
...decline of what Henry Cabot Lodge used to term "American hegemony" in the United Nations poses an immediate problem: what is American policy going to be in the impending General Assembly debate on Algeria? The Asian and African states will certainly press hard in this session for internationalization of the Algerian problem; they will propose a cease-fire and plebiscite under UN supervision. It is equally certain that France will hear of no such thing, and the United States will then be in awkward position--a position to which they only realistic solution will be support of France and rejection...
Morale, the stuff that holds a team together, is beginning to be a problem for Crimson coach John Yovicsin and Columbia mentor Buff Donelli. One more loss would be enough to put either squad into the lulled state of passive acceptance that is almost impossible to shake...
