...plan to spend billions of dollars to aid Europe, generally feel that their own needs are being overlooked. ERP's promise of dollar-financed purchases in Latin America, mostly from Argentina, do not satisfy them. They want U.S. dollars to build up home industry, raise cellar-low living standards. The most the U.S. was prepared to offer on the eve of the conference was an increase of $500 million in Export-Import Bank lending authority, and an easing of the bank's rules so that more dollars could flow southward.

...Heave It Higher." In his scholarly study of the Eucharist, The Shape of the Liturgy (Dacre Press, London, 1945), Liturgist Dom Gregory Dix writes of a trend that came after the 4th Century. Multiplication of churches began to spread the clergy thin, and led to the short, popular "low Mass" performed by one priest alone, in which the congregation took little part.

Suddenly, when it was about to verge on monotony, Shatakh just ended...
When he catches a train of such waves, Dr. Deacon looks on the weather map to check on where they are coming from. Usually their origin is a storm far out toward North America. The wind may never reach England, but the long, low swells, sweeping along at 70 miles an hour, much faster than ordinary ocean waves, do not stop until they hit a shoreline. Dr. Deacon has measured waves at Pendeen which came all the way from a storm off Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America...
