Using Minnesota's bursting-with-health D.F.L. as their power base. Humphrey planners hope to throw out presidential lines into nearly all Midwestern and West ern states. A crucial part of their plans: an attempt to persuade Michigan's Wil liams not to lock horns with Humphrey, thereby leaving Hubert a clear liberal field. A limiting factor in Humphrey's strategy: he is up for Senate re-election in 1960. therefore will probably not be able to enter and campaign in presiden tial primaries...
...these 40 years the U.S. surpassed Soviet growth in its first four decades. Soviet Russia has scored its most impressive gains in a few key fields such as steel, oil and heavy construction, whereas U.S. productive energies have ranged over a far wider spectrum, and established a much wider base. Assuming a continuous growth in the U.S. economy, Soviet output will still be badly lagging by either 1965 or 1970. In fact, the Soviet rate of growth has slowed considerably since...
Meanwhile, the Christian faith, which in the West has given birth to this scientific culture, is now denied or tacitly ignored by most western men.

These, among other factors, were responsible for a widespread feeling within Pakistan against the ineffectiveness of the then governments and the welcome accorded to the Revolution...
...both companies the merger is a good deal. Sylvania has expanded some 17% in the last five years and has a $60 million backlog of defense orders for missile components and electronic systems. But it needs more capital. On its side, General Telephone needs a bigger base in the electronics field, anticipating the day when telephone service will dispense with some land lines and electromechanical switching equipment, take to radio and other electronic equipment. In April 1957 the companies reached the "getting to know you" stage when General Telephone President Donald C. Power, 58, went on Sylvania's board...
