...matter of fact, there is not a ghost of a chance that a third party representing labor will be formed-and Meany knows it. Next day his vice president, Walter Reuther, suggested charitably that Meany was "misunderstood," and then voiced the traditional A.F.L. view: "The American labor movement is committed to work within the framework of the two-party system. A labor party is wrong because it would further fragmentize our society." And, as Republican Summerfield had pointed out, labor did very well for itself in the November elections in the Democratic Party...
...quietly moving the officers of his 200,000-man army into key positions. Lieut. Colonel Suprajogi has taken over the newly created Ministry of Economic Stabilization; Colonel Rudy Pirngadie has been assigned to the task of drawing up a new law for future mining and oil exploitation, a matter of vital interest to such firms as U.S. Stanvac and Royal Dutch Shell.

It may be no bigger than a BB shot, or it may be the size of a plum with a stalklike neck. If the neck is extremely narrow, fecal matter forced into the diverticulum will stay there, setting up an ever-present threat of infection and making the condition harder to detect since the barium used to get X-ray contrast may not penetrate the diverticulum sufficiently. In the symptom-free stage of diverticulosis there may be dozens of small...
...look at the record to see the progress that has been made. The British have acknowledged the validity of the claim of self-determination. They now talk of a solution which represents real progress over their position five years ago that this was a purely domestic matter and therefore not under UN jurisdiction. On the American side the realization that the problem is acute is progress enough to make a solution more feasible...
