...doing very little on their own to help fight the recession. Symbolizing the panic pressures, A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany, United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther and other top labor leaders handed the President a damn-the-deficits plan that included just about everything except an offer to join with management in a hold-down on wages and prices. The U.S., it seemed, had grown overly accustomed to letting Uncle...
...Keep it up-we're winning," cried the Laborite weekly Tribune. "Now Germans join great campaign!" Last week 40 prominent West German politicians, trade unionists, professors, authors and theologians issued a proclamation demanding that the government keep out of any atomic armament race and "support all efforts for an atom-free zone in Europe." Next week the committee called "Fight Against Atomic Death," composed of Socialists and Evangelical churchmen, will make its public debut with a mass rally in Frankfurt.

While he politicked, Gaillard left U.S. Trouble-shooter Robert Murphy and Britain's Harold Beeley cooling their heels, thus deliberately stalling their "good offices" mission to settle the rankling dispute between France and Tunis. Tunisian tempers were not improved as the first...
...sagas of man against wilderness or science against cancer-the kind of uplift dear to Digest Editor (and Founder) DeWitt Wallace, son of a Presbyterian preacher. After a clinical follow-up piece on "What Husbands Don't Know About Sex," the magazine last June invited its readers to join Gynecologist Marion Hilliard in exploring "The Act of Love: Woman's Greatest Challenge...
