...those Scotch-Irish who want no Catholic rule move to the U.S., in exchange for a like number of the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick who want to extend Dublin's beneficent domain and presumably would be anxious themselves to enjoy the blessings which they urge upon the reluctant Orangemen. When the exchange is accomplished, the opposition to a united Ireland will end, the U.S. will gain several hundred thousand of the sober and diligent folk who gave us Andrew Jackson, Stonewall Jackson, Cleveland, McKinley and Woodrow Wilson, and Ireland will gain a like number of Hagues, Curleys...
Voice broadcasts in 24 languages are carried by 38 short-wave transmitters in the U.S. and 19 relay stations at Woofferton (England), Munich, Tangier, Salonika, Honolulu and Manila.

In a twice-daily air assault against Russian jamming, the Voice teams up with some 30 BBC transmitters. Voice broadcasts are also carried by domestic stations in more than 50 countries, including the French government network...

Behind the Screen. Then the Congressmen went after facts, and what they found told an entirely different story about the domain of old Joe Di Giorgio, the Sicilian immigrant who had drilled wells, laid miles of underground pipe and invested $9.7 million to turn a plot of arid land into a production line of agriculture (TIME, March 11, 1946). Di Giorgio wages had always been as good as any in the valley (currently 80? to $1.10 per hour); Di Giorgio had voluntarily carried workmen's compensation insurance for his employees. His homes for workers were no palaces (some were...
