...surrender" egg, originally hatched out of a St. Louis Post-Dispatch article, was set down in the slow incubator of the Congressional Record (along with two routine editorials on farm legislation) by Missouri's Democratic Senator Stuart Symington. The report stayed quietly warm for four days, then popped from its shell. Somehow, perhaps even by finally getting around to reading the Record, it came to the attention of Republican Senators. When the G.O.P. congressional leaders went to the White House for a legislative meeting with the President, they asked the Army's Dwight Eisenhower what all the surrender...

He keeps a sharp eye on the budget, but is apt to increase editorial funds in the hope of returns in the form of added circulation...

There she rammed her Chevy through a 3-by-10-foot plate-glass window and right into the side of a shiny black $6,000 Lincoln Continental. Damages: $2,300 to the building and the Continental, $1,000 to the Chevy, a cut lip for Mrs. Norman. The enraged company manager signed a complaint charging Mrs. Norman with malicious mischief. She posted $400 bail, airily said Metro could "go ahead, sue, I'm broke," and went back...
