When Senator Cole pushed for a vote on the senate floor, there was no debate, but the old prejudices boomed through the silence. In the balloting, the pattern was much the same as it had been in 1867: senators from Eastern Shore and southern counties opposed the resolution, most senators from Baltimore and western Maryland were for it. The final count: 13 for, twelve against, four not voting. Since a constitutional majority (15 votes) was necessary for approval, Maryland had confirmed its 88-year-old dissent to the 14th Amendment...
Premier Mario Scelba, who was visiting the U.S., rejoiced when he got the news in Washington. Said Turin's Fiat-owned La Stampa: "For some time we have felt that something new was brewing in the union labor pattern in Italy. These election results give glamorous evidence of what that something...
...cost of a system in which the doctor competes with the hospital for the patient's pocketbook," Dr. Basil C. MacLean, New York City Commissioner of Hospitals, told the New England Hospital Assembly in Boston.

Professor Robinson implies that today's political " 'primitives' of limited intelligence," e.g., the McCarthyites, are the spawn of Roosevelt's intemperate...
Something Borrowed. Between these two ways of life, between the jostle and the ceremony, the Japanese maintain a sort of coexistence, each facet rubbing against and invisibly changing the other, but never allowed quite to melt into one pattern. This frictional interplay was going on long before the Americans arrived with their atomic bombs, occupation army and MacArthur's new constitution. For 70 remarkable years after Commodore Perry steamed into Uraga Harbor, Japan, under the enlightened reign of Emperor Meiji, force-fed itself on all the Western notions, inventions, techniques and customs it could absorb...
