Racial discrimination, whether North or South, is the blackest spot on our nation's record of freedom for all men. If the national capital cannot set a better example, let's move the seat (and head) of our Government back to Philadelphia, "the city of brotherly love...

ALL OF THESE GENTLEMEN DID THEIR DUTY AS THEY SAW IT AND THEIR MISFORTUNE LAY MERELY IN BEING...
Houston's hard-drinking, risk-taking Oilman Glenn McCarthy has a habit of making comebacks just when things look blackest. Once, when he had gone $1,500,000 in the red, and a creditors' committee had taken over his affairs, he didn't even have the $20,000 needed to finish the mansion he was building. Then, from an oilman he scarcely knew, came a check for $50,000 and a note: "Pay me when you can." McCarthy finished his mansion and launched new oil explorations that made him millions...
