...problem. The class happened to be in mathematics, but the sort of math the teen-agers were tackling went far beyond anything that even most college students know. Based partly on the theories of Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, it involved symbolic logic and sentence calculus. "Logically valid conditionals and bi-conditionals, or the implications they embody," blithely explained the professor, "give rise not only to rules of sound inference-by which to proceed step by step through an argument-but to overall plans of attack which can result in various strategies of proof." With that in mind...
Frankly I am shocked at the attitude taken by Senators Knowland and Johnson on the question of Communist China's admission to the U.N. I ... am opposed to the admission of Communist China to our world congress, but . . . being a world power (which she definitely is), she has valid claim, and I think it would be narrow and stupid for the U.S. to withdraw from the U.N. One cannot bargain with a nation if one avoids it. One cannot run away from one's enemies. I say, meet with the Communist Chinese. Rather lose pride across the conference...
...stage in March, 1953, when a spokesman for the Un-American Activities Committee called Glasser a "serious malefactor," and he was ordered to testify before the committee in Washington.

...lick of work in his 36 years. Born in America and educated in England, Stephen goes to Berlin in the '20s as "a runaway puritan." There he samples "every kind of pleasure, vice, shame and mental anguish," and returns to England a jaded 22, convinced that the only valid emotion is boredom, "or ennui as I preferred to call it." Into the midst of ennui steps an older woman named Elizabeth Rydal, a sensitive novelist of the Virginia Woolf persuasion, with grey eyes and a "long amused mouth...
...British royal commission investigating the struggle between Arab and Israeli 17 years ago arrived at a tragic conclusion. "Fundamentally," said the Peel Report of 1937, "it is a conflict of right with right." Last week-one world war and one local war later-the judgment was still valid. The Jews were right, because 4,000 years ago the narrow strip of Palestine, where 1,670,000 today carve out their earthly Zion, became the cradle of their culture and religion. The Arabs were right, because for more than 1,000 years the land had been theirs...
