Though the Kids, who appear only in Sunday comic pages, have fallen behind such seven-days-a-week upstarts as Li'l Abner (820 daily and Sunday newspapers) and Blondie (1,200), their anarchistic appeal is still powerful enough to support their antics in two rival strips: The Katzenjammer Kids, which was Cartoonist Dirks's original strip, and The Captain and the Kids, the strip he began after losing The Kids in 1913. Combined, they appear in 400 U.S. newspapers with a total circulation of some 60 million, and translated into nearly a dozen foreign languages (with...
...that could not be backed by real help. But these are minor matters compared to the ferocity of the Red terror. Often Reporter Michener himself appears amazed by the enormity of it, and to vouch for his accuracy he finds it necessary to declare solemnly that he has never fallen for phony horror stories-or for Red-baiting.

As other interest rates have risen, the rate on savings bonds has fallen far behind. As a result, sales have slumped (in 1956 the Government hoped to sell $5.65 billion, sold only $5 billion), and the number of bonds cashed in has soared. In January alone, the Treasury paid out $136 million more than it sold in Series E bonds, after the highest redemption level for any month in nearly eleven...
...towers are vaporized by the heat, and the atomic fireball, touching the ground for an instant, drags up toward the stratosphere a large amount of radioactive dust. Both the dust and the vaporized steel must fall to earth somewhere, and the piercing outcry from places where they have fallen has made the AEC jumpy...
