...into the argument that Fair Trade is good because it restores freedom of opportunity. IN this special sense it may be "fairer" to the small retailer to enforce price levels on everybody else that are profitable for him. But the McGuire Bill certainly makes terms like free enterprise a hollow mockery. It also how serious implications for the consumer, who cannot enjoy the lower prices offered by more efficient retailers-and for the freedom of press and radio, by setting restrictions on what and how they can advertise. Ironically enough, this legislation will probably multiply business failures in the long...
...years since a U.S. gymnastic team won an Olympic championship. Even that victory at the world's fair in St. Louis in 1904 may have been hollow: some experts still say that the Americans won because there was no real European competition, and furthermore predict that the U.S. will never turn out a topflight team.

For four torturous months, the three took turns in a sandy, almost airless pit in the center of the camp exercise ground, clawing, inch by inch, a tunnel toward freedom. Above them stood a homemade, hollow vaulting horse. Fellow prisoners dutifully toted it to the open ground every day (with one or two of the diggers inside), and vaulted over it in pretended gymnastics while the human moles worked beneath them...
...Atomic medicines are being put into capsules, safer and easier to handle than long "hot" drinks. To irradiate cancers in the stomach and bladder, balloons are inserted which can be filled with radioactive liquid or fitted with a solid, pinpoint source of radioactivity. Radioactive gold wire is built into hollow nylon sutures to be stitched into a tumor. For external radiation, frighteningly powerful amounts of atomic energy are being baked into little wafers of cobalt ("the poor man's radium...
...Kirkland man as follows: "Every year Kirkland House seeks out an outstanding yet representative group of freshmen in order that it may remain a community of intelligent, independent, unaffected young men. This community rests, as Professor Hammond has put it, on that delicate balance between 'pressure and laissexfaire, hollow heartiness and selfish indifference, sociability and isolation; in short, between the claims of the individual and those of the whole...
