...geography. Berlin would still remain deep behind the Iron Curtain, at the mercy of the Russians any time that they find an excuse to break their agreement. In any case, the West is not prepared to break out its full assortment of possible concessions unless Moscow is willing to broaden negotiations beyond Berlin to include "security arrangements" for Europe as a whole, or an overall disarmament deal...
Hoffa flew in with his wife* and three goals: to clear his clouded claim to the Teamster presidency, which he has held "provisionally" under a 1958 federal court order; to centralize union authority firmly in his own muscular hands; to broaden the brotherhood's charter and set the Teamsters free to organize anyone from airline stewardesses to zoo keepers.

More for Less. For nearly a decade after World War II, the steel industry fought rising costs by the easy method of raising prices, instead of by modernizing its equipment or seeking to broaden its markets. Since 1946, steel prices have been hiked about 150% in twelve installments, roughly the same as the hike in the average hourly wage-although steelmen claim that fringe benefits add another 40% to the wage hikes.

No longer does the state suggest a congeries of retired queen bees, living unproductive Jives on husbands' insurance and making the worker bees who serve them miserable with demanding, captious ways and parsimonious tips. Florida has become a boiling melting pot, mixing retired Ohioans with young Michiganders, New Englanders with Hoosiers. The state now boasts not only the world's largest shuffleboard club (in St. Petersburg) but its largest missile testing ground...
