...business branched out to Basel, the trucks were seized and drivers arrested. Dutti fought back in the courts and won. When, a year later, more trucks were seized in Bern, he showered the city with leaflets from an airplane, got the housewives to back him. As he fought a virtual street-by-street battle into other Swiss cities and villages, competitors set up a national boycott. Manufacturers who sold to him lost other customers, shoppers who traded at Migros trucks were turned away by other stores. Duttweiler started his own plants, broadened his merchandise lines...
...says Cooke, ". . . the pace of social and economic development is much too slow, even when judged by charitable standards . . . In most of the countries, the will and ability . . . wholeheartedly . . . to struggle against Communism is substantially lacking." His conclusion is qualified: "Bad as the present conditions are, it is a virtual certainty that the total situation, both in the Middle East and in the world as a whole, would be considerably worse today but for the large investment made in the Middle East...

Other schools--especially Yale Divinity School, Union Technological Seminary at Columbia, and the Federated Theological Faculty of the University of Chicago--had money, top students, fine reputations, and famous teachers.

Some suggested that the school be dropped altogether and that a sort of graduate study program in theology--similar to the Nieman Fellows in journalism--be set up in its place...
...first time in the last few years that the United States has made a major policy shift without sufficient inter-allied co-ordination. In 1950, High Commissioner McCloy announced that Germany would be rearmed. The French, who had different views on this matter, found themselves faced with a virtual fait accompli, and proposed a unified force (the beginnings of E.D.C.) as a compromise instead of a German army. The Korean War also illustrated the possible consequences of uni-lateral action. The situation that developed when General MacArthur wanted to bomb Manchuria resulted from U.S. failure to consult with the other...
