While the impact of our major stories, such as the cover and Essay, are well known, even we were somewhat surprised at the scope of the reaction to that 100-line story in the Education section. "Nothing has ever happened to Miles," says President Lucius Pitts, "that was as beneficial as the article in TIME" Soon after the story appeared, Miles began receiving contributions from all over the world. Kenneth Montgomery, a Chicago attorney, was so moved by the school's plight that he sent Pitts a check for $15,000. Residents of Bombay, India, raised...
Truman's words fell like thunder claps on banks and stock markets from Wall Street to Tokyo, but their impact was most pronounced in Washington-particularly on the man in the White House.

But-as with so many other things lately-he has done nothing to offset the rising rates except talk about them. Truman's prodding stung him sharply.

G.M., Chrysler and A.M.C. will introduce steering columns that collapse, accordion-fashion, under impact, thereby lessening the danger of chest and abdominal injuries to drivers. Ford has a somewhat similar device and, beginning with the 1969 model year, will start producing cars with collapsible front ends designed to crumple systematically and cushion collisions...
...clear about where he stood: far to the Right, against the New Deal, Fair Deal, big government, and anything he thought Communistic - and he thought quite a few things were. His extreme positions - such as crusading for Joseph McCarthy - disillusioned many of his faithful fans and caused both his impact and his audience to wane...
