Management's tough stand was no idle pose. Big Steel, led by U.S. Steel Corp.'s Board Chairman Roger M. Blough, was bent on halting steel's relentles's postwar trend: ever higher wages, ever higher prices-both up about 150% since 1945.

Humphrey's problem is painfully shared by all Democratic liberals. In midsummer 1959, it is growing ever clearer that the Democrats have all but come to the end of the line on the New Deal-born issues that have served them for a quarter-century. And as at no other time since F.D.R.'s day, the best intellects of the Democratic Party are searching...
...dangers of presenting plays that no one ever presents is that you may find out that there is a very good reason for not presenting them. Twice this season Tufts Arena Theatre has made this embarrassing discovery.
