High Hurdle. To meet the demand for new shipping, the highest hurdle to jump is the shortage of steel. Merely counting current orders, shipbuilders will need at least 170,000 tons of steel plate this year. Yet plate is so tight that deliveries have already fallen 40% behind demand. With the new orders, the shortage is so serious that Government maritime officials are talking about some sort of priority system to allocate supplies. The problem is that so many industries are pinched for supplies that the Office of Defense Mobilization fears that special treatment for shipbuilders will bring demands from...
...there in the wilderness. They speak of the good appearances and glad manifestations of Pomona, of Stanford, of Sewanee, Kenyon, and Black Mountain. But brethren, it is plain that these sects do not have the true light, for Providence has not done well by them and they have fallen by the wayside among tares. If we sent good seed and good sowers out to them, they too would fall by the wayside and bring forth no fruit. Brethren, it is clear that these sects know not the truth and are being punished...
...until prices had fallen to normal levels did the real state of the Colombian economy become apparent. The profits of the 1954 coffee bonanza were not invested in the modern communication system and farm machinery the country needs to make it agriculturally self-sufficient; instead, Rojas had spent uncounted millions on military equipment--heavy weapons, jet planes, beer, and television sets for the soldiers on whose support he depended.

But by the 19th century their repute had fallen so far that John Ruskin could dismiss their work contemptuously as "the scum of Titian." Bologna, proud of its own, decided this year once again to pit the Carracci against the critics, for the past two months has been staging the biggest Carracci show ever: 115 canvases and 250 sketches chosen from museums the world over. To the surprise of the sponsors, the Carracci have turned...
...Anyone who listened to the radio bulletins that interrupted the General Assembly session from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday--"Goodbye for now...Remember our souls...It is too late...the Russians are here...Help, help, help..."---knows that from now on the world cannot stand still. Alliances have fallen apart, the moderate view has not held, and a tide has been loosed that is carrying the world into a new era. The past is behind, and an unpredictable future--of either law or anarchy--lies ahead...
