Industry: "While American production has doubled since 1929, while Britain's has increased by 54%, Holland's by 52%, ours has only increased by 8%-including building . . . Why this relative French decadence on the industrial plane? Because we are a country where many people want to keep the profits of the capitalist regime without respecting its laws, of which the first one is free competition. These people allow neither external nor internal competition. Agreements result in the fixing of sales prices according to the production costs of the most backward enterprises...
...first big ceremonial bill signing, President Eisenhower lined up three Lucite pens, each stamped "The President, the White House." Then, picking up one pen after the other, he squiggled his signature at the bottom of the Holland bill, which returns to the states the control of offshore oil lands within their historic limits. As the bill became law, one of Ike's cardinal campaign promises became fact. He swung around from his desk with a broad grin for the assembled group of Congressmen and Senators-mostly Southern and mostly Democrats-and asked where "Mr. Sam" was. Texas...
...fine art at Cambridge, and gave him a budget of $700,000 to get the job done.

The Senate quickly approved a plan to vote this week on the Holland bill, which grants seaboard states title to their marginal seas to the limit of their historic boundaries. In total, the filibuster: 1) aroused no public outcry against the bill, 2) changed few senatorial minds, 3) changed not at all the Administration's resolve to return control of tidelands...
...iron was French, the limestone Belgian, the coke came from Holland and Germany. Yet the stream of molten metal, tapped last week by Italian workmen in the Luxembourg town of Esch, was steel that belonged to Europe-solid and symbolic evidence that the Schuman Plan dream is at last reality. Six nations, producing 20% of the world's steel, would henceforth pool their outputs, eliminate tariffs, surrender control (but not ownership) of their basic industries to a supranational High Authority, headed by a dapper Frenchman who hopes to forge not merely an industrial colossus...
