...campaign was that Republicans had rocked the U.S. with an economic decline. Unanimously, the Democratic National Committee voted to view the decline henceforth as no recession, but a fullscale, vote-shaking depression. Harking back to an effective 1932 Democratic pitch, the committee accused the Eisenhower Administration of a "Hooverlike" approach to the business downturn. And when his turn came to make a speech, Harry Truman, in a self-styled "spasm," played on depression fears in every give'em-hell...
...approach to manned space flight is to put a man in a rocket and depend on a parachute or other drag-making device to ease him back to earth. Another approach is to fit a piloted airplane with rocket motors powerful enough to toss it out of the atmosphere. It will have wings of a sort for gliding, and the pilot will land it like a conventional but extra-hot airplane...
Unerasable Smile. The caller was Mikhail Alekseevich Menshikov, Russia's new ambassador to the U.S. A foreign-trade specialist who persuasively sold the Soviet trade-plus-aid approach as ambassador to India, Envoy Menshikov, 55, is conspicuously suited to the Kremlin's peaceful-coexistence line.

Comedy is a thing that nobody will bother to argue; the damnation of the American cities or art or conformity are things lots of people will contest. But in Patchen's poems...
...power behind today's boom is a completely new approach to private flying. Instead of designing planes for pleasure, the industry designs them for work. "Utility" is the new watchword. With rugged aircraft to match every purpose and pocketbook, the industry has made it highly profitable for many a company-and thousands of individuals-to take to the air (see color pages). Big farmers and ranchers, such as Idaho's R. J. Simplot, who needs three planes to supervise his many farming operations and other interests, are learning that they cannot get along without planes.
