...Motor Co. showed off its 1954 Mercury this week and gave the rest of the medium-priced field something to shoot at: a sleek new hardtop model named the Sun Valley. The top over the front seat is made of clear plastic, tinted to lessen the sun's glare; the back half is steel. Mercury first tried out its new top on a pair of experimental cars, found that the public liked it well enough for mass production. Factory list price on the Sun Valley (with such standard accessories as heater, radio, directional signals...
...Reds were grouping on the plain in front of the ramshackle city. That night, disguised in U.S. fatigues and baggy Korean civilian dress, the Communists came. The next day, Taejon rose convulsively to life in a hail of sniper bullets, a thunder of Communist artillery fire, the rising, smoky glare of burning gasoline stores. For three days. Dean and his ragged men fought in the streets and alleys and from house to house, contesting every inch of the Red advance. On the third day, Dean manned a new 3.5-in. bazooka, which had been flown in from the U.S. hours...
...spiritual light that comes into Mitchum's eyes when he gets a glom of Darnell, or then again it may only be the glare of some passing headlights.

But the U.S. as a whole will have a much more sterile diet-packaged fireworks shows in city parks and packaged patriotic sentiments on television...
...minute before 9:30, CBS Producer Bill Wood took a last look at the tableau about to be flashed, through the facilities of the four major networks, to TV screens across the nation. The glare of twelve big lights, ranging from 750-watt "spots" to 1,000-watt "broads," beat brightly down on President Eisenhower, sitting behind a small desk, with his face and bald head aglow with pancake makeup. His big "cue cards," which had been brought in only after news photographers had been shooed out of the room, were ready before him. On his right sat Attorney General...
