There is, of course, a big nucleus of still-bright stars like Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Betty Grable, Gregory Peck, Esther Williams, Linda Darnell, Tyrone Power, Jimmy Stewart, Olivia de Havilland, Joan Fontaine. But the public, according to experienced Hollywoodsmen, is scanning the marquees for new names...
...81st in action looked like a chart of atoms at work; particles were constantly breaking off from one nucleus to join another. Judging by the first six months, the 81st was proving footloose and independent-minded. The independence made it irritatingly slow at times; it also made for the kind of middle-of-the-road Congress which would never fully satisfy the Truman Fair Dealers, or satisfy the conservatives either, but would nevertheless leave behind it some solid achievements...
...largest groups of converts gained over the 23-year period live in South Africa (where a nucleus of 714,013 grew to 5,467,281) and India-Pakistan (from 580,212 to 4,100,224). In heavily Roman Catholic Latin America, the heaviest gains showed in Brazil (69,527 to 1,657,524), Argentina (3,350 to 259,056) and Mexico (31,138 to 265,148). In the Far East, Manchuria's Protestants increased from 245 to 54,938, Korea's from 201,063 to 743,773, and China's from...

In short, the main goal of the NSA Purchase Card Committee has been well fulfilled: we have bridged the gap between an idea on paper and an actual system in operation. The job, of course, is not perfect in every...
Perhaps the most important reason for the current failure of the plan is the limited range of participating stores in the area of the Square. The success of the Purchase Card depends upon its local showing; the present nine member stores around the Square form a good nucleus, but the variety of goods, services, and price levels they cover is not wide enough to make the plan sell. In the minds of many students, the present Purchase Card System is merely an ineffective duplication of the Coop...
