...Senate could hardly have been more serene. Debate on the natural-gas bill (TIME, Jan. 30 et seq.) was nearing an end, the opposition was wheezing its last, the votes to pass the bill seemed well in hand. When South Dakota's comma-conscious Republican Senator Francis Case rose to speak, it was the signal for other Senators to burrow deeper into their newspapers or strike up desultory conversation with their neighbors. But by the time Francis Case sat down, he had shaken the Senate to its foundations...
Three hours later, while furious Frenchmen circled his refuge in the Palais d'Eté, honking their horns, Mollet admitted shakily to newsmen: "I saw in their faces the look of total miscomprehension and hatred." His hands trembled, and his voice was little more than a whisper.

Assistant Publisher Eugene Duffield-one of the employees' main targets-announced his resignation, and Publisher Roger Ferger, whose annual earnings of as much as $104,700 had come under fire, admitted...
...government out of business if private industry could do the job as well. Dodge hired Adolphe H. Wenzell, vice president of the First Boston Corp. (investment bankers), to suggest ways of getting the plant built without tapping the budget. The now celebrated Dixon-Yates contract (TIME, Aug. 2, 1954 et seq.) was the result...
