...notice (G.M. has already built such plants experimentally). Wilson can be expected to run the Defense Department, which has been called the world's biggest business, efficiently and imaginatively, to improve procurement methods and speed up slowpoke development of new weapons, to cut down waste. His greatest handicap may prove to be lack of governmental experience, which has proved disastrous to many a businessman in Washington, including "Electric Charlie" Wilson...
...from readers, the Canadian Press, or from reporters on competing papers. Of the Sun's own 50-man editorial staff, only one reporter spotted the repetition. After the third day, the Sun confessed its trick. "If the paper omits a comic strip . . . football scores or the horse-racing handicap column, the office switchboard begins winking frantically . . .

A Yale graduate and a partner in Brown Brothers Harriman investment firm, he is the darling of Connecticut's large bloc of wealthy, tweedy, Republican voters who abound in Fairfield Country.

...mile, $50,000 Washington International drew three first-class European horses-England's Zucchero and Wilwyn, Germany's Niederlander -and Indian Hemp, a Canadian-owned hopeful which had raced in England. The U.S. opposition, which might have been better, consisted of Brookmeade's handicap star, Greek Ship (ridden by Eddie Arcaro), Ruhe (third in the 1951 Kentucky Derby) and a favorite Maryland router named Pilaster. Although the distance and the turf course favored Zucchero (touted as "the greatest four-year-old in Europe") and Wilwyn (winner of ten straight), all three U.S. entries had good turf races...
