...from 1947 to 1952 as the Government's top peacemaker-the hulking (6 ft. 7 in.), Canadian-born lawyer ironed out countless labor spats with such dogged patience that even John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers couldn't hurry up "Ching and his damned pipe." Both of them worked overtime in the post-war labor climate bringing about settlements, including accords in 1948's two coal strikes and 1949's crippling steel walkout...
After the Missile Crisis of 1962, most Cubans realized their chances for return were pipe-dreams. They became more willing to leave the immediate Miami area and settle down elsewhere in the country--for good. But there are still some who clutch on to a dim hope. They are embittered by the "betrayal" of the United States government, which, they feel, failed to deliver on pledges to help them "liberate" their homeland. A bewildering multitude of organizations sit in Miami and fight among themselves, fiercely pursuing the sterile intrigues of exiles...
...hazard of hidden 6-in. steel spikes. In the unlikely event that he gets this far, the escapee finds himself before the New Wall itself. It is not only smoother and higher (15 ft. v. 9-12 ft.) than its predecessor but is topped by a 15-in.-wide pipe that, unlike the old barbed wire, makes any hand grip impossible. The Wall is now nicely whitewashed; besides the esthetic consideration, this gives the Grepos a better backdrop for shooting...

Before Shumway, now 40, a pipe-smoking ex-Marine (and nephew of Founder-Chairman Samuel B. Mosher), became president in 1964, sales were $444 million. Vowing to look into "anything that's well managed and in a growth industry," Shumway is well on his way toward making his company-whatever its eventual name-one of the nation's hugest corporations...
...Gens sons, Heinz, 26, and Josef, 23, carried construction materials into their shop near St. Severin's Gate in Cologne, Germany. Aided by friends, they carried out large quantities of earth. From the building came the sound of an internal-combustion engine. Exhaust vapor escaped through a pipe in the roof. Neighbors deduced that they were building a secret racing car; the Gens boys insisted that they were merely enlarging their basement. They were indeed digging-straight down. In the process, they were uncovering one of the most important Roman relics ever found in Germany: the funeral monument...
