When completed in 1959, the project will generate more power than TVA. New York and Ontario will share equally in the cost ($600 million) and in the power (12.6 billion kilowatt-hours a year). The dam will fit into the St. Lawrence Seaway system, scheduled for completion...
What Hope? Theologian Hromadka says he is no Communist, and his brethren largely believe him. But he thinks it fit to collaborate with his country's Communist regime, and for that reason it was easy to dismiss Hromadka's speech as the melancholy result of peaceful coexistence and a sharpened sense of doom.

With some 700 monuments and public buildings now in use, Washington is still deep in the process of "aggrandizement and embellishment," and, in a way, Washington is still selfconscious.

...been working for several years at the monstrous task of comparing varying manuscripts of the Greek New Testament. All of the 4,600 known versions are copies (or copies of copies of copies) and few are exactly alike. The copyists added words and omitted words. They changed spellings to fit their times and even changed meanings to conform with current notions. They made all sorts of mistakes. Mr. Ellison's project has been to try to find out what variations went in "families." indicating that groups of manuscripts were copies from the same original or from one another...
