...reads a good piece, doesn't like it but prints it anyway, or b) that good writers and poets aren't really ashamed to see themselves appear in her pages, is hard to say. One should talk sweet of the aged, and of the performance in her current issue, such talk need be neither hypocritical nor gratuitous. If a reader wishes there were a little more of her, he can comfort himself by sensing that she is, at least, there. A fellow can ask little else of a woman, particularly in springtime...
...ahead loomed a real threat to the economic health built up over the past twelve months: the United Steelworkers' demands for fat "general contract improvement" when current contracts with the steel companies run out on June 30.

Another reason for holding on: Rambler has a current resale price advantage of from $99 to $191 over a same-year Chevrolet, Ford or Plymouth...
...company. General's earnings rose from $2.1 million in 1957 to $6.6 million in 1958, or $2.80 a share. Yet this is not cash on hand. When General sells an $895 lot for $10 down and $10 a month, it counts the full profit on the sale as current profit, even though it will not receive it all for 8Jr years. To bolster its cash position and permit it to expand, it is closing a deal with the Prudential Insurance Co., which will buy $10 million in General Development bonds...
