...admitted holding 3,000 tons of wheat in my private warehouse. I would like to state that I have made no such admission. I do not hold or ever have held 3,000 tons of wheat in my warehouse. My land produced 20 tons of wheat this year. Half was given to the tenants, and half was sold to the government...
...state's congressional delegation, arrange a conference so that Governor and delegation could discuss federal-state problems? Replied Wayne Morse: No, nothing could come of such a meeting. Undaunted, Hatfield went ahead and held his own man-to-man conferences. Last week he worked around to the other half of the Morseberger senatorial team, Morse's onetime protégé and latterday whipping boy, Senator Richard Neuberger.

The 75,000 copies of the magazine Neva, in which it first appeared, were sold out almost immediately; a paperback edition of half a million sold out in one day. The Yershov Brothers bears some resemblance to Not by Bread Alone in its plot and its factory setting, but unlike Dudintsev, Kochetov will never have to make apologies to the Central Committee for inaccurate descriptions of Socialist life. His book is a sharp attack...
