...Atlanta, 61-year-old Frank Leavitt, who used to wrestle under the name Man Mountain Dean, announced plans to run on the "Independent Republican" ticket for the House of Representatives in Georgia's ninth district. Said he: "I love Georgia, and I think I can help her. I'll spend $20,000 to campaign if I have...
...most-sought-after speaker in the Democratic Party. His political oratory booms and pulses with echoes of the old-fashioned tub thump (even though he has consciously tried to tone it down for the microphone). Most of his stories are as whiskery and old as Abe Lincoln. But from Atlanta to Manhattan they love them, because they can't help loving the man who tells the stories.

...harbor is jampacked with ships from nearly a score of nations, bringing in fresh men and equipment, taking out the wounded and sick and wrecked or worn-out equipment.

Said Tucker, in his brief to the committee: "This small clique . . . simply purported to set up a series of meetings...
...workers, and not only steelworkers needed help. As the steel strike went into its fifth week, the whole steel-based economy of the U.S. began to slow down. The auto industry had already laid off 91,200 of its 1,200,000 workers. In Cleveland, Toledo, Buffalo and Atlanta, auto assembly plants began closing down. In Flint, Mich., the two Chevrolet plants laid off 10,000 men, AC Spark Plug 8,000, Buick 200. In the whole U.S., besides the 475,00 striking steelworkers, an estimated 250,000 others were out of work because of the strike, and other thousands...
