South Dakota's Karl Mundt, who has long since jumped the Eisenhower team on farm policy, began by urging a last-ditch plea for the President to sign. Nebraska's Carl Curtis backed him up, and North Dakota's Milton Young remarked tartly that President Eisenhower had certainly not been talking about farm-prop cuts during the 1956 campaign.

Samples: Milton's L'Allegro is not much of a poem-Robert Frost has written better; Saint Paul was dishonest with money; Jesus did not die on the Cross but may or may not have turned up in Rome in A.D. 49; bath water in Australia "goes widdershins [contrariwise] down the waste-pipe"; the "concept of the supernatural is a disease of religion," although, paradoxically, Graves-who claims to have risen...
