...Senate. There, his voting record showed heavy emphasis on TVA, other public-power projects and farm subsidies. It followed Fair-Deal doctrine (up to 95% pro-Administration in 1949-50) and this year won him a rating by the Americans for Democratic Action as one of the eleven Senators most pleasing to that organization's left-wing position. But among his own colleagues Kefauver's popularity rating years ago dropped through the floor; he probably has fewer Capitol Hill friends than any other Senator. Hardly any have supported him in his quest for the presidency. Many feel that...
Even without this flank attack, however, Ali's position was untenable. On the same day that the Awami League took over East Pakistan, two of Ali's central government ministers deserted his Moslem League Party, leaving the league with only eleven out of 80 seats in the National Assembly. To make matters worse, the Moslem League itself was talking of expelling Ali on the grounds that he had been dealing over-enthusiastically with other parties in the coalition on which his government depends...

Bridey Murphy has faded away into the thin air that produced her, but a weird new phenomenon is loose in the land; a teen-age craze for a boyish Hollywood actor named James Dean, who has been dead for eleven months.

("Read his own words from the beyond!"). The actor is also a current "must" in every movie magazine, while three national magazines...
...last five pictures, including Marty, which won four Academy Awards, are expected to gross $42 million (on a $7,343,000 investment). The partners' deal with United Artists, which releases their films, gives them 70% to 85% of the profits. Since 1947 Hecht and Lancaster have produced eleven films-all box-office successes. They already have impressive plans for spending $40 million in the next three years...
