...bill is a very important step toward a solution to the dollar-shortage problem, the sterling problem and the continuation of our own prosperity," declared Georgia's studious Walter George. "If we do not make every effort to [maintain export trade], we might as well abandon the Marshall Plan and stop wasting our money." After seven days of debate, the Senate was facing a vote on extension of the reciprocal-trade program...
...saying that a pension and welfare plan financed entirely by management would set a precedent, Ben Fairless was not on firm ground. Murray's union already had a number of noncontributory contracts among some 400 pension and insurance agreements with the steel industry and metal fabricators. Bethlehem Steel and Jones & Laughlin had been paying the full cost of pension plans for more than 20 years.

Built on the general plan of the German V2, the Viking has one great difference. The V-2 is steered by graphite vanes set in the rocket blast, but the Viking's preset gyro instruments steer it by moving the whole rocket motor, playing the gas blast from side to side like water from a hose. After the fuel is gone, and the rocket is moving in the last of the atmosphere, small jets of nitrogen shot out of a pressure sphere keep it flying true. The proving of this new system, potentially superior to that...
