Dallas and Fort Worth are only 30 miles apart-almost as close, one might say, as two tomcats in a shoe box-and this proximity has bred in citizens of both cities a splendid sense of mutual distrust. Nevertheless, back in 1941 when it became evident that the airports of both towns were getting outmoded, they joined forces to plan a huge, jointly owned field midway between the two cities. Then Dallas representatives made a horrible discovery: the field entrance was to be a mile and a half closer to Fort Worth than to Dallas. They walked...
There were other objections. The supposed benefits of revaluation would not extend to countries with small gold reserves, such as France and Italy, which are most in need. It was even debatable whether revaluation would bring gold out of hiding; it might only increase hoarders' distrust of paper money. And even though revaluation would artificially increase the value of a nation's gold stocks, it would not stop the drain. Only a balance between imports & exports could do that.

...very qualities that make some of his countrymen distrust Dean Acheson and his policies were just what were needed to make him a success at U.N. last week. He set out to convince the doubters, the neutralists, the holdbacks and the timid in the General Assembly on the Tightness of the U.S.-and U.N.-action in Korea. To diplomats nagged by the conviction that Americans are illogical, explosive, and unreasoningly bellicose, the U.S. Secretary of State spoke for nearly three hours from a lawyer's brief that was well prepared and delivered in aloof and detached fashion.
