...years later, the Rosenbergs were electrocuted at Sing Sing. After more than nine years in a federal pen, Greenglass, 38, was turned loose in Manhattan last week, went off to join his wife Ruth and their two children. On emerging from a federal house of detention and entering a cab, surviving Traitor Greenglass was greeted by hecklers. Shouted one to Greenglass's cabbie: "Drive him off the pier, right into the river, the Red rat!" Instead, whatever he was or is, David Greenglass was driven off into obscurity, probably to pick up his interrupted civilian life elsewhere under...

As they step from plane or ship, tailors' touts press calling cards on them and promise custom-made suits within 24 hours for only $25. On their way to the hotel, the cab driver offers his services as guide, confidant and business agent.

Frisco Vice President Jack E. Gilliland, the line's Texas-born, methodical traffic manager, decided to try "piggyback," i.e., loading auto truck trailers directly onto flatcars (minus the cab). It found piggyback trains could beat the truck time from St. Louis to Dallas by as much as eight hours, plant to dealer-at a price per car of only $73.90 v., $97.35 by truck. In the first half of this year, the Frisco's auto shipments rose to nearly 50,000 cars, accounting for 4.4% of the railroad's total freight revenue...
