For eight gesticulatory minutes-more than twice the time he devoted to the subject of peace talks-he laced into Capitol Hill economizers and urged Congressmen to "stand up like men" and vote, to "bite the bullet" no matter how much it hurt. Oddly enough, until he spoke, they had seemed ready to do just that...
...oilfield worker who carried two $20,000 life insurance policies that paid double indemnity in case of accidental death. When he died-accidentally, she said-she sued the insurance companies for the double payoff.

A band of ten North Korean soldiers had ambushed the truck 1 mile south of the Demilitarized Zone, killing two American and two South Korean soldiers. Before the week was out, the North Koreans had made two more attacks on allied forces at the DMZ, killing two more South Koreans...
