...swivet over Old Fair Dealer DiSalle's hard-hitting state labor-racketeering bill. The measure, now before the Democratic legislature, provides fines and imprisonment for labor leaders who 1) charter paper locals, 2) use union funds for personal profit, 3) buy stock in corporations with which they bargain collectively-or have bargained with over a three-year period, 4) accept gifts from companies with which they have bargained. Under the same bargaining terms, it also sets up a maximum of a $1,000 fine and a year's imprisonment for any union member or employer who does violence...

When Aref flew off to Damascus for a much-publicized meeting with Nasser, and Egyptian MIGs began operating on Iraqi airfields, Kassem recoiled, began looking for allies against the eloquent Aref and his Nasserite followers.

The owner of a joint called Porky's rashly advertised a bargain rate-$1.50 for all the beer a student could surround in three hours. His taps ran dry, and before a refill truck could rescue him, the offended scholars had pitched his furniture overboard. The owner kept his temper, next day hired a plane to patrol the beach with a banner...
...jaunt with Grandmother through an exotic bazaar in Beersheba, Israel, pert, 16-year-old Nina Roosevelt* spied the cutest souvenir ever, begged Grandma to bargain for it with the canny Bedouins. Obligingly, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt shelled out $77 for a scrawny baby camel (named "Duchess" by Nina), which, if Daddy approves, will stalk the Roosevelts' Hyde Park estate until it gets big enough to deserve permanent residence in any interested...
