...America can't keep as fast a schedule. On top of this, all liners are waging a losing battle against the airlines. Five years ago, only 30% of transatlantic travel was by air. This year it will reach about 40%, and airlines talk confidently of getting the bulk of the business next year. But as long as the travel boom lasts, shippers are not too worried; they think they will get their profitable share-and they think they have some things that no plane can match. As one European-bound tripper put it: "Is there anything better than sitting...
...fear that one party will try to control the other. But in states such as Texas, the threat that members of the larger party will grab control of the smaller is always present. It is by no means established that this is, in fact, what happened in Texas. The bulk of the evidence suggests that most Ike voters were acting in good faith, were disgusted with the Fair Deal and saw Ike as the candidate most likely to turn the Democrats out of Washington...

northcliffe, whose own screaming, halfpenny Daily Mail was flourishing, saw no reason why a paper as old and influential as the Times should have only 40,000 circulation and be almost bankrupt. How he shook things up occupies the bulk of the latest and final volume of the fascinating Times-sponsored History of the Times, on which scholarly Stanley Morison, 63, has spent the last 20 years. As in the previous volumes (TIME, Feb. 23, 1948), Timesman Morison trots out all "the Thunderer's" skeletons, glories and stupidities with an unsparing candor seldom equaled by official chronicles anywhere...
