...poor state because it is all, or more than half of it, mountains. Beautiful, but too cold for a winter resort and too hot for a summer resort. There is rich rice and cotton land in the Ark River Valley, but we can't get money to develop our big river and get the water freight which is a must for big industry now. This is just to explain that while we welcome Mr. Winthrop Rockefeller in our midst, we did wear shoes before he came...
...atmosphere for negotiations by ending violence, although the very methods which suppress violence serve to perpetuate hatreds. The Algerian situation is complicated by the presence of 1,000,000 European residents in a nation of 10 million; they are Frenchmen who have made Algeria their home, done much to develop it as a country. If there had been a proportionate number of British in India when the British pulled out in 1947, it would have been necessary to evacuate or leave behind 34 million people...

The Air Force is also developing Rascal, a promising supersonic air-to-surface missile; Thor, a 1,500-mile ballistic missile; and Titan, a second design for an ICBM. The Navy has a costly but promising project to develop Polaris, a 1,500-mile ballistic missile which will carry...
...show clients what it could do, the company literally produced a silk purse out of a sow's ear,* has since turned out industrial ideas by the dozen. It helped develop Owens-Illinois' Fiberglas, a new kind of blast furnace for Republic Steel, American Viscose's rubber fiber Filastic. When Bristol-Myers' brushmaking subsidiary, Rubberset, could get no more hog bristles from Red China in 1950, A.D.L helped invent a chemical substitute from chicken feathers. Its special taste laboratory has aided dozens of U.S. foodmakers. Its smell laboratory, which developed special chemicals to help American espionage...
