Since the days when Jim Carey was an ardent young liberal at the forefront of the C.I.O. movement, the International Union of Electrical Workers' president -like many another labor leader-has been wary of congressional interference in union affairs. Last week 45-year-old Jim Carey changed his mind. In announcing that the I.U.E. had adopted an ethical-practices code far tougher than anything yet accepted by its fellows, President Carey 1) publicly called on all unions to recognize Congress' right to investigate labor racketeering and corruption, and 2) bluntly declared that any I.U.E. officer who pleaded...
Reynaud's ardent support put new heart into the government. Summing up the case for the Common Market, Mollet cried eloquently: "How often between an America sometimes too impulsive, some-times too slow to understand the perils, and a Soviet Union, disquieting and often menacing, have we wished for the existence of a united Europe, a world force not neutral but independent.

Then, as governor of the second largest state, he might well emerge in 1960 as a powerful candidate for the presidential nomination...
Prometheus roamed the savannas during the early Ice Age a million or so years ago, and anthropologists believe he may have been one of the first "protomen." His most ardent biographer is Anatomist Raymond Arthur Dart of Johannesburg, who has constructed a vivid picture of his ways from the man-ape fragments thus far dug up. In a report released by the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. Dart adds a few more imaginative strokes to his Promethean portrait...
...called loudly and clearly for the West to organize and arm itself against the threat of Russia. Ever since then, he has been in the forefront of every effort toward European unity, impatient at "lip service" and "halfway measures toward that end as he has been active and ardent in support of practical progress." "To believe that we can still defend our selves, by ourselves," he told the Belgians last year, in support of NATO "is completely absurd." And he added: "For me, NATO must also be the political center of the West." Speaking in Moscow at the time...
