...World Series; a bewildered newsboy went to Outfielder "Shoeless Joe" Jackson and said, "Say it ain't so, Joe." Obstinacy at the bargaining table and dishonesty on the air waves, Ike went on, are reminders that "selfishness and greed . . . occasionally get the ascendancy over those things that we like to think of as the ennobling virtues of man-his capacity for self-sacrifice, his readiness to help others...
Nearly half the time will have gone before the mills reach anything like capacity production; layoffs because of steel shortages, which rose from 10,000 a week in mid-September to 45,500 a week in late October, will continue to rise for perhaps six weeks (see BUSINESS) before the output of new steel will be felt through the steel-strapped economy...
With that specifically aimed blow at the U.S. Supreme Court and its 1954 school desegregation decision,* Circuit Judge Sebe Dale, 62, last week empaneled the Pearl River County grand jury, charged the jurors to "go into the jury room like men, do your duty, come out like men and keep your mouths shut."

Though the report made it unlikely that the West would urge a full-dress Security Council debate on Laos, and the Russians jeered that the report "collapsed the Laotian charges like a card castle," the fact was that the very presence of the U.N. observers in Laos has put a considerable damper on overt Communist activity. And at week's end U.N. Secretary Dag Hammarskjold decided to fly to Laos himself to determine whether the situation warrants some kind of permanent, though informal U.N. surveillance-a measure the Laotians feel would go a long way toward keeping...
