...Directives for the Fifth Five-Year Plan-which was actually started in 1951 -will be "approved" by the Congress. The 10,000-word draft seems to show that Stalin wants the Russian production machine to churn on pretty much as before. The plan calls for an overall production increase of 70%. As before, the lion's share of that is to be heavy industrial production. Even if the Five-Year Plan reaches its targets (actually, the percentages given by Russian statisticians have only a remote relation to reality), Russian production will still be far behind the U.S.-approximately where...
...General Manager P. Joseph Cronin of the Red-Eds quipped as he returned from the police station last night. "In this 96th annual clash, I predict Crime will win, 23 to 2. And at 3:30 p.m. the Charles will churn to Crime's 23 strokes per minute as its eight opens its season with its 2-length victory over the Clowns in its final rate...

A farmer could buy a Sunday suit for $4.98, a couch for $5.45, a stove for $11.96, a six-room house ("machine-made, ready-cut") for $972, and a "single dog power churn" for $14.70.

He was also, he claimed, founder of the Order of the Sons of Temperance, vice president of the Patriotic and Benevolent Order of the Sons of America, and a pillar of the Order of Good Templars...
...since popular education opened the dikes to a shallow sea." Having blared this raspberry into the face of the "antipoetic world of commerce and bureaucracy," tetchy Poet Graves admits that he has been forced to spend much of the last quarter-century earning bread for his seven children by churning out historical novels for the antipoetic market. What bothers him now is how much longer he can keep the churn turning. "I shall gradually reduce my Graves's orders," he imagines a bookseller saying. "I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's written...
