...squeezed plaintive cries from Vito Marcantonio, the rabble-rousing Congressman from Manhattan's upper East Side. As the only minor party member (American Labor Party) left in the House, he seemed in danger of being stranded-each major party voiced deadpan assumptions that the other would take care of seating him on committees. Another left-winger, Florida's Russophile Claude Pepper, was also disenchanted at finding himself eased off the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee-the wages of singing his famous duet with Henry Wallace at Madison Square Garden (TIME, Sept...

Big, conservative, conscientious Gustav Theodore Kuester (TIME, April 29) had left his rich Cass County acres and no head of first-rate hogs in the care of a friend and moved into smoggy Des Moines to do his biennial bit of legislating. The 98 Republicans in the 108-member House promptly and unanimously elected him Speaker...
...distill these bales into useful conclusions, scientists are turning to giant calculating machines which eat up equations as quickly as small boys gobble peanuts.

Two hundred scientists, engineers, mathematicians gathered to hear the latest plans, and to yearn for more calculators. Mark I, Harvard's first, was operating. The electronic entrails of Mark II, under construction for the Navy, were still in the semiassembled stage...

Although you might be tempted to treat the neatly-printed from as merely light reading over a trayful of baked macaroni and cheese, this little questionnaire has been gotten up with an extremely sensible care. The first question, for example, runs: "Are you interested in attending student-produced plays at Harvard? Yes? No?" There's the whole problem. You can circle "No" and concentrate on the macaroni. If you consider yourself a wit, there's plenty of shiny white space and a number of detailed questions that can be answered hilariously with a fine-pointed pencil...
