Minnesota's Humphrey, leading contender for the title of old-style New Dealer, loosed a blizzard of proposals for new alphabet agencies into the Senate hopper. Sample: a CCC-style Youth Conservation Corps. But in an era of budget-balancing conservatism, he looked like a Democratic dinosaur. Busy touring the country on his half-announced candidacy, Humphrey did not find time to carry out the one important legislative assignment that he got from Johnson: writing a completely new Democratic farm program and fighting it through Congress. Half-time prospects: dim and fading...
Trade-named Temposil by Lederle Laboratories, it is citrated calcium carbimide (CCC). A single tablet sensitizes the patient so fast that if he takes a drink within as little as ten minutes he will feel flushed and short of breath, and get a headache-all severely enough to make him turn against the bottle.

The CCC will follow the same sales technique with the 7,000,000 bales of more desirable upland cotton; later it may also dispose of another 6,900,000 bales held against loans. Cotton exports, 2,750,000 bales this year, will be upped gradually to a hoped-for 5,000,000 bales a year...
...tank-town Torquemada." Princeton's Dean Andrew West, "in the name of ... the purity and sanctity of our Christian faith," denied Billy permission to speak on the campus. He died in 1935, most forgotten of men. Booze was legal again, the tabernacle lumber was being used for CCC camps, and other trombones were heard in the land...
