...Chinese are just aroused democratic workers on the British model, the government released an official account of the tortures inflicted on British prisoners in Korea by their Chinese captors, including such incidents as taking prisoners onto the frozen Yalu River and pouring water over their bare feet until they froze to the icy surface. The incidents were of a kind painfully familiar to Americans, but rarely mentioned by the British press or government, for fear the truth might be considered too inflammatory...
...Federal Power Commission itself has never interpreted the Gas Act to include producers; in fact, it has argued against it. But it was quick to obey the court.

The landlord, getting only the official $12 a month, cannot afford to pay taxes and keep up repairs. Result: no repairs are made, and many apartment buildings are slowly rotting away...
...Friday night, the sophomores on the team, Ike Canty, Neil Muncaster, Phil Haughey, Lou Lowenfels, and senior Perry, put on a late second half drive to cut a Syracuse 20-point lead down to five but the Orange successfully froze the ball in the last three minutes. Sacks with 25 points was the team's high scorer. Canty...
