While carrying out the Eisenhower program, Halleck has also helped bring White House and congressional Republicans closer together than at any other time during the Eisenhower Administration. As never before. Congressmen are informed about Administration aims, and the President gets an accurate and detailed picture of congressional sentiment. Under Halleck's predecessor. Massachusetts' doughty old (74) Joe Martin, and the Senate's obstructionist G.O.P. Leader William Knowland, it hardly seemed possible for Ike to keep his congressional fences in good or der. This year, with Halleck, and with Illinois' Everett Dirksen replacing Knowland in the Senate...

Picketing gangs stood outside rural Indian stores to keep farmers away by force, to the delight of African merchants down the road, who promptly raised their prices. Two hundred Africans who own cars have made a mint as taxi operators since a boycott was declared against the white-owned bus line...
...bottles to 1 per 10,000, with an average of 1 per 4,200. But for each obvious reaction there are at least four cases where incompatibility causes a hidden sensitization, preparing the ground for trouble with the next transfusion or the next pregnancy. So the overall risk is closer to 1 in 600, Dr. Moore concludes. And of patients who have such reactions, 15% to 50% will die, "depending upon the clinical acumen of the physician and the facilities available...
