...Unander are as different as two men can be. Morse is a blazing liberal; Unander is a rock-solid economic conservative. Morse is a maverick-he was a Republican, then a self-styled Independent before turning Democrat in 1954. Unander is a party regular-the scion of a wealthy lumber family, he is a former state treasurer and G.O.P. state chairman, served on the Federal Maritime Board during the Eisenhower Administration. Morse got off to a late campaign start, is now running like the wind. Unander has been campaigning steadily for two years. Morse is an emotional, highly effective stump...
Often when Congress tries to help one industry by passing a law in its favor, it only hurts another. Latest case in point is that of the Pacific Northwest's softwood lumber industry, which has been losing its traditional East Coast markets at a spectacular rate to Canadian lumbermen in British Columbia. In the past ten years Western Canadian lumber shipments to the East have jumped from 7% to 57% of the market...
...significant sequel to Teddy's efforts to improve his football skills. At Harvard, Teddy fumed at the fact that Clasby could outrun him. "Dick," he said, "sometime in the next ten years I'll bet I beat you in a race."

He worked briefly in the family lumber business, skippered a PT boat during World War II. A friend of the late Ernest Hemingway, Shevlin is an avid big-game hunter, polo player, deep-sea fisherman and golfer. Durie and Tom Shevlin now own a white colonial mansion across North Ocean Boulevard from the Joseph P. Kennedy estate in Palm Beach...
...make up almost one-third of it. Greater Chicago and Southern California are among the areas where in 1962 for the first time more apartments than houses will be built. This is one trend that does little for the U.S. economy, because an apartment usually requires far less concrete, lumber and glass than a house. The average apartment costs 57% as much to build as the average single-family house. And because apartments usually go up in well-developed areas, they do not kick off a fresh round of construction of streets, sewers, schools and shopping centers. Neither do they...
