...July, when the Outer Seven put into effect its first mutual 20% tariff reduction, the effect on Finnish trade was instant and disastrous. In Britain, Finland's best market, Finnish lumber and paper exporters ran into big trouble from Swedish and Norwegian competition, had to drop prices by as much as $5.60 a ton. Kekkonen, never very popular, was soon in bad political trouble. Last week Nikita Khrushchev decided the time had come to drop in and give him a hand...
...that sense, the decathlon poses an impossible challenge. No one man can ever hope to be the absolute best in all ten events. The lean sprinter will have trouble with the shot; the beefy weight man will lumber through the 100 meters. Worse yet, the events are cunningly alternated so that the competitor has no chance to use the same muscles and reflexes twice in succession. The cumulative effect is numbing. Because of his rare combination of speed and strength, Johnson is at his best in the 100 meters, 400 meters, the javelin, discus and shotput. But his weight...

Back in 1956, Corey and two friends had put up $30,000 each to lease an old lumber warehouse near Portland and fit it up for storing grain.

Last week, too sick from bleeding ulcers to be present in the courtroom, Corey was convicted by a federal jury in Portland of violating conflict-of-interest laws...
...Party platforms have traditionally been ramshackle structures-ill-assorted odds and ends of lumber loosely nailed together by cautious, compromise-minded committees. By comparison, the 1960 Democratic platform, grandly entitled "The Rights of Man," is a well-made document: straightforward, clear, brief and-as platforms go-probably the most coherent blueprint for Utopia ever to come out of a convention. As such, it reflected not only the promises of the candidate but the leanings of its principal architect: Platform Committee Chairman Chester Bowles, 59, Congressman from Connecticut, prospeous ex-adman (Benton & Bowles), Harry Truman's best-known Ambassador...
