As if by magic, Lauderdale's registrars enrolled 300 Negroes in that one day, and have been accepting applicants at the higher rate ever since.

Made by Treo to sell at $6 and $7, 150,000 of the briefs and panty girdles have already been ordered by department stores...

One of the first things he did when he took over his father's struggling knitting mill in 1956 was to begin selling seamless nylon stockings in supermarkets for 750 a pair−half the standard price. Today, every other pair of women's hosiery sold in West Germany is made by his firm, Schulte & Dieckhoff, whose sales have increased twentyfold in the past nine years, to $90 million...
