...trailing by 10,000 votes, agreed. Thinking himself defeated, he went to bed. Next morning Neuberger and his wife, State Representative Maurine Neuberger, paced up and down their pink kitchen, where the telephone buzzed from time to time bringing them election returns. The first delayed returns from Multnomah County (Portland) halved Cordon's lead, but Candidate Neuberger sighed gloomily. "Not enough," he said, and gathered up some grocery bills on which to tabulate votes...

The Democratic-Labor coalition hit the question of unemployment with everything it had, tied it up with administration indifference to tax relief for working people and "giveaway" of natural resources.

He joined the CalTech faculty in 1927 and has been a full professor there since 1931.

"Stacking" (i.e., circling, awaiting landing permission) costs airlines from $156 to $360 per plane-hour...
...begin a dinner speech, was summoned to an air-raid drill that just happened to be called by Governor John Fine, who just happens to be Republican. Oregon Republicans muttered darkly that someone-a Democrat, no doubt-had punctured the huge "Ike" balloon they planned to float over Portland. John Roosevelt, barnstorming for the Republicans, had an interesting comment: "I come from a traveling family-and the standards are still set by my mother." In New Jersey, Democrat Adlai Stevenson said that Vice President Richard Nixon had campaigned with "smut, smear and slander." In California, Republican Nixon said Stevenson...
