Palaver at State. Both London and Paris essentially agreed with Schroder's estimate. In Moscow, Nikita Khrushchev had a three-hour talk with Ambassador Foy Kohler in which he delivered no warnings, and pushed no harder than before. In Washington, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, at his own request, saw Kennedy and Secretary of State Rusk. As usual, Gromyko was adamant; at a State Department dinner the dialogue droned on roughly like this...
...Faculty Committee on Educational Policy has recently opened discussion on an old and firmly entrenched Harvard tradition: the written, three-hour final examination. During the next few weeks the CEP will attempt to compile a series of essays on the subject written by a variety of professors and College administrators. Eventually, the essays may be printed in a small booklet, perhaps for public distribution. The CEP project will most certainly result in a searching analysis of the present examination system, and it could lead to an increase in the number of courses offering such alternatives as the final paper...
...long-standing Faculty policy requires that a three-hour written examination conclude every undergraduate course, and exemptions are granted only upon petition to the CEP. Until the mid 50's nearly all of these exemptions went to elementary language courses, courses in composition, or courses with a large amount of laboratory work. Since that time, however, the CEP has become more and more lenient with its dispensations. The number of petitions has increased correspondingly. In the spring of 1953 there were 19 requests to substitute papers or other alternatives for the standard final; last year this figure had risen...
WORKING on this week's cover story. Writer Jesse L. Birnbaum and Reporter Neil MacNeil came under a more diverting kind of barrage: they were fired upon with polysyllables. At the end of their first three-hour interview with Senator Everett Dirksen, they had got through the story of just the first 25 years of his life. MacNeil went on with seven more hours of interviewing, and at one point, to check the story that Dirksen keeps his pants pockets full of enough odds and ends to cover a variety-store counter, he asked the Senator to empty...
...Angeles last year to work with Carolyn and Coach Daland. The girls live only six blocks apart, and both attend John Marshall High School, where Carolyn is a senior, Sharon a junior. Up at 6 each morning, the two head for Los Angeles' Olympic Swim Stadium for a three-hour workout: sprints, turns, 60 laps of the 50-meter pool. At 5 each afternoon, they are back in the pool for another 1½ hr. session with Daland...
