Though Udall was overwhelmingly defeated by McCormack's supporters, his move helped wrest from the incumbent Democratic leadership in the House an agreement to allow all party members to sit in on monthly policy meetings, thus assuring that the voice of the activists will continue to be heard. Another concession to Udall's rebellion: committee appointments will henceforth be subject to approval by a caucus of all House Democrats instead of being dictated by a tight coterie of congressional elders. Udall and his hardy backers-only 58 of 435 House members-did their careers no damage...
Unknowing Communist functionaries used the picture to advertise the home comforts of their jail.

Unlike such country stylists as Son House and Mississippi John...
Guidance for the Guides. Such computer-aided college selection offers help with three increasingly pressing problems. The computer's prodigious memory relieves students of the fear that they may fail to apply to the right school simply because they have never heard of it. The computer also helps remove a burden from hard-pressed high school counselors.
