...Nixon burgeoned as a distinct G.OP. asset, he began more and more to take on Adlai Stevenson in debate (effectively overlooking Opposite Number Estes Kefauver). "You find corruption in either party," ran the tenor of his argument, "but we clean it up." And again, "Both the parties want to be good to our people, but we start with the individual and work up; they start with the Government and work down." In Philadelphia, Nixon termed Stevenson's stop-the-H-bomb-tests proposal "catastrophic nonsense." In Syracuse, N.Y., he jabbed at the "special-interests" tone of the Democratic campaign...
...Radcliffe--where cooperatives have been an important part of the dormitory system since 1934--life in such small off-campus houses has its distinct advantages. Not only does it offer an opportunity to save money on board expenses, but it allows for a way of college living that differs markedly from the more confining restrictions of the Quad dormitories.

By thus supporting the "easy money" policy of Harry Truman's Treasury Secretary, John Snyder, the Fed had, in fact, become an "engine of inflation...
...whisky-"cookin' whisky, drinkin' whisky, and sippin' whisky." To such famed connoisseurs as Lucius Beebe, Novelist William Faulkner and onetime Vice President John Nance Garner, the best sippin' whisky of all is Jack Daniel's Old Time Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, a drink as distinct from standard bourbon as bottled in bond is from Old Popskull. Sparingly distilled by a secret, century-old formula in a quiet mountain glen near Lynchburg, Jack Daniel's has never tried to crash mass markets, never old more than 300,000 cases a year. What makes Jack Daniel...
