Mark Clark is a product of the military environment since early childhood. Son of a career officer, he was born on an Army post-at Madison Barracks, N.Y. He was wounded in France; after World War I he began his slow climb up the rungs. He was a captain for 13 years. It was a period when career officers were almost wholly isolated from civilian affairs and political life. They lived with their families in little colonies at scattered garrisons or foreign posts, or were buried in the depths of the Washington bureaucracy. The public was disillusioned with World...
...Keystone State. He controls about 30 of Pennsylvania's 70-member delegation, and it is entirely possible that Fine's decision to throw his delegates behind Ike Eisenhower or Bob Taft might decide who gets the nomination.

This lifelong machine politician, a miner's son from northeast Pennsylvania's brawling coal country, almost overnight has become a national figure, the biggest Boy in the nation's Backroom...
...cost-of-living edged up almost to its all-time peak of last January. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' index for May (189) was only one-tenth of 1% below the record.

...second performance, Tenor Baum redeemed himself magnificently. Extra police were in the balcony to keep Florentines from violence if he fluffed again. The big test was the fourth act, where the tenor has an aria lasting ten minutes and running the entire tenor scale. As Baum began to climb to the high notes, the usually noisy galleryites were quiet as mice. When he got to the stratospheric climax and crashed out the finish, the audience applauded its hands raw, cheered itself hoarse. Tenor Baum grinned like a schoolboy...
...Rony: in fact, massaging just the fat parts of the body may make those parts bigger. Surgery is dangerous. And exercise is hopeless: to take off one pound, said Dr. Ralph E. De Forest, a fat man would have to walk 36 miles, or do 2,400 pushups, or climb the Washington Monument 48 times. After losing some weight by dieting, the patient should take a little gentle exercise, such as walking or golf, and then go on to swimming. One trouble with heavy exercise: it boosts the appetite...
