...this country, and that your future depends on giving all sides a fair shake. Right now the odds are that the Republicans will not win in 1956. That would put you in a hell of a position. All we Democrats ask is fair treatment-equal treatment. We can lick the opposition with this. I don't give a damn that my subscription expires this month. I get the Democratic Digest, and that will well take up my time...
...treatment. The most drastic break with current U.S. practice that he suggested was rehabilitating the addict first-teaching him a trade, helping him to get a job-and treating the addiction afterward. This would mean dispensing narcotics to the addict until the doctor felt that he was ready to lick the habit. A similar system, tried from 1919 to 1929 at 44 clinics in 15 states, claimed the Academy, showed good results until the Government stopped...
...much, if the moviegoer can believe his eyes. A pride of lions is really just a snoring shame. They lie around on their backs half the day, with their legs in the air like great tawny tabbies, and the rest of the time they lie on their stomachs and lick themselves. Once in a while Mother Lion gets up and carries a cub somewhere in her mouth, or leads him along with his tail between her teeth, but she soon lies down again. Father Lion does not indulge in such violent exertions. The king of beasts reclines in raunchy grandeur...
...read with great interest the wise comments of those sages of the Democratic Party -Truman, Butler & Kroll-assembled at French Lick, Ind. [Sept. 5]. They are so right; the present Administration is sadly out of step. The Republicans have brought on a depression (with employment at an alltime high and unemployment at a new low) and have no regard for human needs-they have permitted prices to increase 0.3% while merely increasing take-home pay by a lousy $3.84 per week .. . They are demagogues that misrepresent by reporting what takes place at foreign conferences instead of allowing the American public...
...Astronomer George H. Herbig of Lick Observatory took a photograph of a small area in the Orion nebula, which is 1,600 light years (9,600 trillion miles) away from the earth. It showed three faint stars embedded in a cloud of dust and gas. At last week's Dublin meeting of the International Astronomical Union, Dr. Herbig displayed a recent picture of the same region. The picture showed five stars, two of which may be newborn. The light from the new stars, of course, took 1,600 years to reach the earth, so the stars were actually born...
