There is no such heavy Government aid for the sixteen privately sponsored plants, which comprise the bulk of the program. Builders are largely on their own, working under fixed-price contracts with risk of heavy losses. As a result, one small experimental plant is completed, only four are under construction. Two others have been contracted for, but negotiations with AEC for another five are poking along, and four more have been canceled...
...only 1.6 million for the U.S. The British have also landed a contract for a $72 million, 200,000-kw. power plant in Italy, expect to sew up at least five other foreign contracts totaling about $500 million by the end of 1958. Target for 1967: the bulk of the business from Europe's six-nation Euratom combine, whose purpose is to build a common nuclear power grid of 15 million kw. Russia is reportedly building a 150,000-kw. plant for Czechoslovakia, a 100,000-kw. plant for East Germany, and two 400,000-kw. plants for herself...
...last check. "He learned on the farm," says a friend, "that the work went best when he tended to it personally from beginning to end, and he got in the habit. Today he's still like a farmer watching his crops." He sold or gave the bulk of his properties to families that lived on them, then converted the 3,000 acres he still had into one of Turkey's most modern and prosperous farms.

In the new cold war struggle, said Dulles, the strengths of Communism are bound up in its iron grip upon nearly 1 billion people, enabling Communism to squeeze the great bulk of its resources into armaments and political-economic offensives. But the weaknesses of Communism are also bound up in that iron grip, above all in the restless demand of subject peoples for freedom of thought and freedom to buy more consumer goods. This is why the U.S. has been trying to base its cold war policies upon 1) "everpresent and ever-alert retaliatory power to deter Soviet...
While there were some expensive ships to dream about, such as the 46-ft. Wheeler sports fisherman at $60,000, the bulk of the boats were designed for the middle-and lower-income groups, who do most of the buying. More than half the boats were for outboards, which have been souped up-and quieted down. Kiekhaefer Motor Co. showed off its Mark 78, the most powerful outboard (70 h.p.) on display (price: $960). Evinrude and Johnson exhibited the first four-cylinder V-type outboards - 50-h.p. engines priced at $750 to $850-which, they bragged, were almost free...
