...persists in using the methods of terror in solving internal antagonisms," declared Mao, "it may lead to transformation of these antagonisms into antagonisms of the nation-enemy type, as happened in Hungary," where the Communist Party, because it chose "repression instead of persuasion . . . simply disappeared in the matter of a few days." The right way to allay popular unrest, he went on, is to encourage public criticism and then, by means of "persuasion and education," eradicate both the criticism and the mistakes that caused it. "It can even be said," proclaimed Mao, "that small strikes are beneficial because they point...
...morning in late April of 1945, a military convoy snaked its way through a thin rain along the tortuous mountain road that winds from Milan along the side of Lake Como to the Swiss frontier. Near Dongo, 30 miles from the Swiss border, the lead armored car was stopped by a roadblock. Italian partisans, members of the fabled 52nd Garibaldi Brigade, began their search.

Inference: multiple sclerosis is caused by the spirochete, and early attack on it should lead to cure or alleviation...
...inflation, which has greatly increased the cost of weapons started several years ago, plus the fact that Air Force programs are doing so well. Many planes and missiles are moving from drawing board to production line in a much shorter time than budget planners anticipated; e.g., the lead time on a B-52 bomber, formerly 30 months, is now only 15 months. Thus bills come due sooner than anticipated. While the shorter lead time has cut unit costs, the final bill for the year is higher because more planes are rolling...
