...East, and would fight, if necessary, to prevent it. President Eisenhower intends to 1) request standby authority from the newly convened 85th Congress to send U.S. forces to help any Middle Eastern nation repel Communist attack, 2) draft a new program of economic aid for the Middle East to build up its stability and anti-Communist potential. Congress will almost certainly approve the Eisenhower plan, and probably by joint resolution-just as it approved, and thus strengthened, the President's 1955 decision to defend Formosa by force, if necessary...
...Whenever I asked one of 650 workers who helped to build this center, 'What are you doing?' he would say: 'I am putting in window frames,' or 'I am putting in electric lights.' One of them used to say to me, 'I am making the boiler work.'" Father Sappa smiled and rubbed his icy hands. "But these were only individual objectives. All of them-even the man who didn't make the boiler work-had one greater objective: to make this center work. It is working now-though the boilermaker failed...
Opening night was riotous even by Broadway standards. Housemen and city cops had a hard time handling the shoving, yelling crowd fighting to get in.

However, the emphasis is still on good dance music (next attraction: Xavier Cugat); rock-'n'-roll is banned, and Owner Brecker hopes to move on to a whole new type of clientele...

Hotels now jam every inch of the commercially available beach front; the rest, about one mile of beach front, is zoned for private estates. To build the Fontainebleau and the Eden Roc, waivers had to be secured allowing private-land to be put to commercial use; for its site the Americana had to go six miles north of Lincoln Road-the Beach's main stem-to Bal Harbour, which is, strictly speaking, outside Miami Beach...
...best, companies will get back only what it cost them to build a plant, not what it may cost to replace in years later. In times of relatively stable costs, such a system causes no hardships, but with costs constantly rising, a businessman will be lucky if he gets back 50% of his replacement costs. In 1940, for example, it cost the steel industry $100 to add a ton of steel to its productive capacity; now the cost...
