Questioned by reporters, Dulles said that the buildup is "more intensive and more broad in its scope than anything we have recently known . . . This indicates a higher degree of [Communist] capability than we anticipated a few weeks...
...least a polio season. But if two shots are given within a month, and there is then an interval of at least seven months before a third shot is given, two advantages are gained: 1) the strength of antibodies is raised more quickly and to a much higher level (higher, often, than would follow a natural infection with polio), and 2) the immunity lasts longer because the system's antibody-manufacturing plant develops an "immunologic memory" or conditioned reflex. It Will Get Better. So far, Dr. Salk does not know whether this degree of immunity will last...
...France cannot take a place among 'second-class' great powers." Faure's decision appealed to Frenchmen's pride, but it threatened to dig too deeply into their pockets.

Moreover, the trend from farm to city cut the number of farmers by 3.5% last year. Thus, per capita farm income last year rose slightly (from $914 in '53 to $918). At the same time per capita nonfarm...
Because of its limited duties, OTC is no panacea for trade problems, but it should be approved, if only to secure the faith of our thirty-three allies. If Congress does not pass the plan, ensuing distrust might lead to new and higher tariff barriers and ultimately halt the expansion of world trade. By enacting OTC and its sister proposal, the Reciprocal Trade Act, Congress could relieve the hardening of Western arteries of trade...
