...does, all the things which add up to enormous profits now may make for losses. The high-priced movies Hollywood is making this year may not be shown for as long as two years from now. And by then, even Hollywood's optimists expect that the present box-office rush will be subsiding. In short, Hollywood may find itself peddling high-priced products in a lower-priced market. That thought alone was enough to take some of the shine off this year's pot of gold...
...exceptions to this rule add further complications to November's balloting. The federal nature of our government causes party ideology to vary from state to state. In some elections a progressive Republican rates the nod over an unsavory Democratic candidate. But Republicans of the Stassen-Dirksen variety are far fewer than Democrats of the Monroney-Pepper-Mead mold. And, in the Congressional races at least, a mediocre Democrat is preferable to a mediocre Republican.

Thirty-eight publishers had thought enough of his idea to chip in $170,000 to finance a two-year trial run. Aim: through marathon bull sessions, to add a cubit to the stature of the U.S. press. Plan: for two to four weeks each, groups of 25 working newspapermen (average age of the first 25 students, 44; average newspaper experience, 22 years) would face a tougher grind than any undergraduate class. They would live, study and argue together, from eight to twelve hours...
Front-line lieutenants of the advancing buttons proudly manipulated some 3,000 machines, the last word in gadgets to count, add, substract, multiply, divide, duplicate (or do all six at once), type in any of 51 languages, stamp and address envelopes, open letters, translate, record, broadcast on private networks, and, finally, erase spotlessly and indefatigably.
