Thus last week the U.S., in a mixed-up, 20%-above-normal, Christmas-like post office rush, anticipated the increase of postal rates from 3? to 4? (lavender-colored Lincolns or gold-colored Bolivars) for first-class letters, from 2? to 3? for postcards, from 6?: to 7? for domestic airmail. Richer by $450 million revenue, Postmaster General Summerfield rosily called it "the beginning of the greatest period of postal progress in American history." Epilogue to an era, in the letters-to-the-editor column of the Chicago Daily News: "I have nothing to say, but I thought...
Presumably Murphy might yet promise withdrawal of U.S. forces at a given future date if all sides get together, name a candidate, call off the three-month strike, and let the country return to normal. Against that day, which President Eisenhower again promised last week "just as soon as the U.N. can act effectively to ensure the independence and integrity" of Lebanon, Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold expanded his Observers Group to 200 and laid plans to increase the number of border watchers to at least 1,000.

Instead of tapering off at the weekend as it often does, the buying increased steadily, left the tape minutes behind as 4,427,280 shares, double the normal volume, changed hands on the closing...
...each other's dignity and sense of decency. What drives him is a need to break through the outer shells of people and look through to the frightening inner swamps of fear and desperation. What he finds in himself is a weak schizophrenic who sees the world and normal people masked against him. Spying on his own inner self, or on the girl and her father, becomes more important to him than anything that can happen in the workaday world, which in any case he thinks is a fraud. The girl is not unlike him: "She picks...
