Puffing a cigar instead of his customary burnished brown pipe, Dave McDonald marched into the elevator, rode 20 floors to his three-room, $65-a-day suite. He changed into tailored lounging clothes, considered which of two books−Auntie Mame or a condensed edition of Toynbee−to pick up for relaxation. Another bargaining session between the steelworkers' union and the country's three largest steel companies had ended a few minutes before. McDonald, who had been leading the union delegates at the sessions in the Hotel Roosevelt, was anxious to be away from the stress...
...Puritanism. Surinam, or Dutch Guiana, was a stopping place on the Yankee merchant circuit. Greenwood spent some years there, put himself in his picture rushing, candle in hand, for the door. Among the other identified portraits is that of Captain Nicholas Cooke (later Governor of Rhode Island), smoking a pipe and talking with Captain Esek Hopkins (later commander of the Continental navy) at the table. Another Hopkins, Stephen (who was to sign the Declaration of Independence), blesses an oblivious salt with rum, while Captain Ambrose Page neatly vomits in his pocket. The time is 2 a.m. and things (including Page...
...Muskie. Winner of the G.O.P. primary over two opponents was Willis A. ("Bill") Trafton Jr., tall (6 ft. 3 in.), genial young (37) father of six and speaker of the house, who never before had campaigned outside his home city of Auburn (pop. 24,500).

...competition for the St. Louis Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in 1948. The elder Saarinen submitted a formal monumental design; Eero's entry was an audacious, 590-ft. stainless-steel arch that looked like a giant, glistening croquet wicket-which he had conceived while bending a wire and wool pipe cleaner. A telegram announced Eliel the winner. The family broke out the traditional champagne to celebrate...
Under the bill's terms, the Canadian government will lend up to $80 million to the U.S.-controlled Trans-Canada Pipe Lines Ltd. to launch one of the biggest and riskiest construction projects ever undertaken in Canada. The company will begin building the world's longest gas pipeline, costing more than $350 million, to bring Alberta gas some 2,000 miles to industrial Eastern Canada. Trans-Canada must complete the first 574-mile leg to Winnipeg before next Dec. 31 and must repay the loan, with 5% interest, by next April. If it fails, the company will lose...
