...Deadly Deadlock. There were two possible methods of breaching the conservative barriers around the Rules Committee: 1) to pack it with additional liberals and break the conservative-liberal deadlock, or 2) to remove one of the conservatives-namely Mississippi's 14-term William Meyers Colmer (pronounced Calmer).

Next afternoon at Colgate, the varsity coasted to a 4-0 lead before a Raider wing tallied his team's lone goal after taking a pass from his center on an offensive zone face...
...space science?new-style astronomy?is near at hand. Ground-based optical astronomy just about reached its limit with the completion of the 200-in. Palomar Mountain telescope in 1948.
