...easy to say others lie when one does not have an easy conscience oneself." But some of Moch's Socialist colleagues were less mild. They surged across the aisles, fell upon Communists with flying fists. After the ushers separated the combatants, the Assembly killed, 404-186, a Communist demand for a full-dress debate on the Clermont-Ferrand affair. In effect, the vote was a vote of approval for Moch's new Compagnie Républicaine de Sécurit...
...Roman Catholic Church, convinced, through its divine prerogatives, of being the only true church, must demand the right to freedom for herself alone, because such a right can only be possessed by truth, never by error.

Residents of the Greenpoint (pronounced Greenpernt) section of Brooklyn never really thought Peter J. McGuinness would die.

One PHS man cracked of the new bill: "Well, they didn...
There was still no drop in demand. In the first quarter, reported SEC, the net sales of 1,070 U.S. corporations had risen 19% above the 1947 period. And there was plenty of buying power: in April, personal incomes had gone up $1.4 billion, reaching an annual rate of $209 billion. In some lines which had felt a sag in sales, strange and wonderful things were happening. A few weeks ago, for example, some home appliances were in the doldrums. But when the Iron Age set out to probe the slump last week, it was flabbergasted: demand had picked...
