...jobs. When his estimators make a mistake, Morrison never tries to squirm out from under. When the boss of a job wants help, he does not go to Boise; Morrison or one of his lieutenants hotfoots it out to the job. Otherwise, Morrison gives his project managers all the elbow room they need...
Eyebrows & Aluminum. Though McGinnis does not have much elbow room on the board of directors, he does not need much. Smooth, sharp-witted and a proven good railroader, he knows the business from roundhouse to board room.

Police had to link arms and plow a path before Pleven could make it to his own car. "This is the first time such a disgraceful and disagreeable scene has ever occurred at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier," said an official...
...humanity. Let us consider the facts of the matter. The accident to to which the editorial alludes could well have happened at any other time and should not be connected with the Smoker, much as the author would like to. You state that rather than good fellowship, clique rubs elbow with clique. This would mean that Harvard is made up of a series of cliques something like city gangs. I find this item quite uncalled for! . . . You completely ignore the two hour entertainment program at which a majority enjoyed themselves, all save the "Puerto Rican faction" as Al Capp referred...
