...From the palmetto-dotted public beach that adjoins the launching sites, newsmen glimpsed test-firings of the 5,000-mile Navaho and the less complex Snark which superseded it, covered the first successful firing of the Air Force's Thor (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). At week's end the newsmen were standing by for the biggest bird of all, the second attempt to launch the 5,000-mile ICBM Atlas...
...biggest rocket that has actually been flown. It is a great, sharp-nosed metal cylinder. In accordance with Army doctrine, it is tough, can stand quick transportation and quick firing from enemy-influenced territory.

For. as Mr. Bryan said, you can't nominate the lawyer of J. Pierpont Morgan for President of the United States." The following...
...This book should be read by every South Carolinian regardless of race. It should be required reading in schools. It should be publicized from one end of the State to the other. . . . The facts which McMillan describes should be a source of deep shame to every resident of the Palmetto State, not so much because the conditions as he describes them exist, but because we are, for the most part, totally ignorant of them...
