...watch-and to hear. With a rafter-quaking oratorical style. Clement hopes to roll his throbbing clauses to the vice-presidency this year. A typical Clement peroration: "Once in this world, a lonely figure climbed a cross-marked hill, and went from there into an airless tomb. He was the foe of lies, dishonor, theft and treachery. He was the champion of truth, honor, faith and bravery. It is my fervent prayer that I can so live as to be worthy of His sacrifice. If you cannot find it in your hearts to give me your votes...

Trudeau shunted patients out into the biting mountain air, made them sleep, bundled snugly...
...Airless Wonder. As a mouse teamed up with industry's elephants, National Research has done well because President Morse, 43, is a rare combination of scientist and businessman. An M.I.T. graduate ('33) who worked for Eastman Kodak until he decided that he could do better on his own, Morse started out with the basic idea that high-vacuum (i.e., removing all the air) techniques could be useful to U.S. business. He and his staff developed machines efficient enough to suck all but a cupful of air out of an area as big as Chicago's Union Station...
