...philosophy. But he is too alert a man not to realize how much he has won for his followers within the framework of capitalism-and how much the picture holds within that same framework. In a recent speech Reuther said: "Movements release tremendous emotional forces, and they get into motion great dynamic qualities; then they tend to dissipate themselves. They sort of spend themselves. You always need to find a way to re-create enthusiasm and spiritual power." Maybe Reuther will. Maybe not. Talking about the Ford settlement last week, he said: "You never get everything." He sounded quite resigned...

As an observer to this incident, I can report that it stood about 4 ft. high, and had a mushroomlike shape and a jellylike motion. The most fun came when ex-House President Tom Stix tried to maneuver it through his 30-in. door. With success almost in sight, the skin of the tightly squeezed object suddenly vanished, leaving the mountain of water standing for an instant in his doorway...
