...life under Communism is a classic circumlocution. The Red program is described as 'this process of assimilation of ancient religiously imbued cultures into a Godless culture.' ...

...eras. Most glaciologists account for them by a theory that the huge Pleistocene glacier advanced and retreated four times, dropping its deposits each time as it melted back. Last week Professor Richard J. Lougee of Clark University, Worcester, Mass., offered a new theory. At the Washington meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he argued that the glacier did not retreat, but stayed in place so long that its enormous weight pushed a giant dimple in the earth's crust. When the glacier finally began to recede, the dimple filled with water and became an inland...

Reynolds captured 28.2% of the market v. 26.1% for American...
Though Reynolds' first-place Camel slipped .9% to 63.5 billion cigarettes in the domestic market and American Tobacco's second-place Pall Mall gained 6.4% to 58 billion, American was hurt by a 9.2% dip in sales of its third-place Lucky Strike, to 47.2 billion. Furthermore, neither of its filters-Hit Parade or Tareyton-broke into the top 15 brands. Meantime, Reynolds sped ahead on the sales of its Winston, up 5.5% to 42.3 billion, ranking it as the top-selling filter and No. 4 among all brands. Reynolds' filtered Salem also took over first place...
