...recession should deepen, a fairer remedy might be the tax cut urged by Automan Curtice, many U.S. economists and some members of Congress, and conditionally approved by Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson. Unlike wage raises, tax cuts would increase purchasing power without upping business costs, and would benefit all earnings instead of just members of muscular unions such as Walter Reuther's U.A.W...
...Schnitzer Pasha, the rescuers were in far worse shape than the rescued. The Pasha reluctantly accompanied Stanley back to civilization, fell on his head during the welcoming ceremonies, and hurried back into the interior, where he was murdered.

House elections are easier and fairer on candidates, too. A Lowell politican for example, can more conveniently, and much more justifiably, canvass all the entries in Lowell to advance his cause, than stuff everybody's mailbox with tire-some and inane letters...
