...consulting with his party's members behind barricaded walls. Though the North Korean Communists have kept building up their military strength, the South has been making something of an economic comeback with the help of about $300 million yearly in U.S. aid, but there is danger that the handout mentality is becoming endemic...
...Pressagent Wheaton had been women's publicity director for the Republican National Committee for 18 years when she became the first woman press aide in White House history (TIME, April 15). A divorcee, she is as skillful with the skillet (specialty: corn pudding and fried chicken) as the handout.

In Ask Me Tomorrow, Cozzens used his European experiences for a crisply satiric self-portrait, complete with a characteristic blast...
...greater depth and range to their business sections. The New York Times, which has the biggest (21 reporters) and most expert business staff of any general-circulation U.S. daily, drills business-side recruits by Financial Editor Jack Forrest's four-word manual: "Get behind the handout." The result is a flow of economic reporting that widens out from the Times's fat business section and nourishes the whole paper.
