...allowed to bleed to death. Hogs were shackled by a leg to overhead conveyor belts, jabbed in their jugular veins, sometimes dumped alive into scalding water. The societies pressured meat packers into joining a committee on humane slaughter that achieved some innovations, e.g., some packinghouses began using a captive bolt pistol, which fires a metal rod into the brain; George A. Hormel & Co. installed carbon-dioxide rooms where hogs were gassed before slaughter. But most packinghouses continued old methods. Angrily, the humane societies took the issue to Congress, early this year got a bill through the House...
...yolks intact and swallowed in one agonized gulp. In the evening in his dressing room, he will dose himself from a staggering array of pills and nose drops. As a tension reliever, and because he thinks it helps clear his mind, he will sit down for several minutes bolt upright, put his hands on his knees, close his eyes, inhale four times in staccato gasps through the nose until his lungs are expanded to bursting, finally exhale through his nose in four staccato installments. Finally, he will pray. Then he will walk onstage at Carnegie Hall to play the toughest...
Political lightning in Ohio is a fairly predictable factor. Last week Buckeye Republicans were almost certain that the man who will be illumined by the big G.O.P. bolt in next week's gubernatorial primaries is low-voltage incumbent C.

Charlie Taft filed as a last-minute fill-in candidate when...

In Poland, Western newspapers are to be had, and citizens complain about the government with something approaching freedom. In Hungary only newspaper offices and high officials get printed news from the West, and the people keep their bitterness to themselves. In Poland fearless Cardinal Wyszynski goads the administration; in Hungary Cardinal Mindszenty hides in the American legation. The Hungarian writers who inspired and helped lead the revolution seldom dare to write even sly gibes (though they regularly...
Splits between Republican factions are not new. What is new is that congressional Republicans are now sure of two things: 1) they can bolt the President without fear of political punishment or reprisal, and 2) there is no political advantage in standing up for him. Congressional leaders declare privately that Ike has neither time nor stamina for heavy campaigning this year. Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Richard M. Simpson complains that he has not seen the President to discuss campaign plans since Ike's stroke. In Chicago last week, the President closeted himself in a stockyards suite before his speech...
