...winning fight to get an H-bomb program started, the lifting of Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer's security clearance, the Dixon-Yates electric-power contract with AEC. But weighed calmly against his long record of achievement, going back 42 years to his service as secretary to Food Administrator Herbert Hoover in World War I, Strauss's talent for controversy would hardly have cost him half a dozen votes in a normal confirmation test. What defeated Lewis Strauss was a combination of Dolitical disgruntlement and personal vendetta...
Fool's Gold. It was on the trail of the dreamers and dead men that two young Hawaiians, Benjamin Ferreira, 27. and Stanley Fernandez, 22, arrived in Arizona last April with 300 Ibs. of prospecting gear, food and, inevitably, a map.

Getting Results. Frondizi's plan to force Argentina to live within its means -by removing price subsidies from food, freeing foreign trade, freeing the artificially pegged peso to find its real level-has ended what used to be one of the most comfortable ways of life in the world.

Rosenhouse sent a twelve-year-old boy to a nearby National Guard command post with a message on one of his calling cards: "Forty-five rebels want to surrender. They have laid...
...Chicago's South Side long gave the city a distinctive aroma, inspired poets and reformers. Carl Sandburg hailed Chicago as "Hog Butcher for the World." Novelist Upton Sinclair achieved fame with The Jungle, and it was a major factor in the passage of the nation's pure food laws. Sinclair was so revolted by the packing industry that he wound up the book with a prophecy that some day Chicago's great packing industry would wither away. Last week economics was doing what reformers had failed to accomplish. Armour & Co. announced that it will end its packing...
