Convicted Teamsters Boss Jimmy Hoffa last week braced himself before U.S. District Judge Frank Wilson in Chattanooga and prepared to take it on the chin. He got it. Wilson slugged Hoffa with a sentence of eight years in prison and a $10,000 fine for trying to bribe a jury that was hearing conspiracy charges against...
...tended to take the kind of jobs that men seldom strive for. In fact, the new U.S. equal-pay law may cost women some of their jobs because-other things being equal-many companies prefer to hire men.

According to the latest theory, the boys from Bucharest were now parading their ideological independence from the Russians...

That was in the summer of 1948 when the Russians had sealed off Berlin and Murphy, who was serving as civilian political adviser to Military Governor Lucius Clay, was summoned with his boss to Washington to discuss the blockade. It consisted at that time of a wooden pole suspended across the highway at Helmstedt-and removable, Murphy was convinced, by a token show of force. The decision to launch the Berlin airlift seemed to him a serious mistake. The dramatic success...
