...Boston University (65 to 48) are scheduled again, while Worcester Polytechnic Institute, which bowed to Tufts to the tune of 84 to 59, will be played twice in eight days. Northeastern, Quonset, and New Hampshire complete the list; none of them--except possibly Quonset, an unknown--looms as serious opposition...
Preaching & Parties. The man who evokes this sentimental, semantic medley of adoration and respect is a little (5 ft.) youngish (40) bespectacled, homely, eloquent son of a French naval officer. Before the war Sartre was a relatively unknown professor of philosophy (1930-43). During the war he spent nine months in a German war prison, then emerged to play an active role in the Resistance (he served with the Communist-dominated Front National). Now he is France's most discussed writer: his temple, the respectably bohemian Cafe de Flore on the Left Bank. There he spends most...
...very long ago-in the year when Chamberlain waved his umbrella, crying "Peace in our time"-an unknown young woman was writing radio scripts, in Chicago.

Other occupied countries of Europe have turned their backs on this problem. France merely conferred citizenship on illegitimate children of French women and "unknown" fathers. In Washington a diplomat from a country occupied for years by the Nazis took this line: "I heard in my country of only one case. A girl had from a German soldier a baby against her will. As soon as the baby was born, she killed it." Norway, which three decades ago took the lead in abolishing the stigma of illegitimacy, has decided that facts should not only be faced, but lived with...
