...could talk at any length on any subject. He also had, briefly, even higher ambitions. In 1952 Kerr started a drive for the Democratic Presidential nomination, lasted through one roll call at the convention. "It would appear," he said later, "that the people did not realize what a superior product was being offered them." Mainly, he is noted in the Senate for his pungent rhetoric. For years he has sparred with Illinois' doughty Democrat Paul Douglas. In 1958, as Protectionist Kerr was reading into the Congressional Record a list of industries whose tariffs he felt were detrimental to Oklahoma...
...original Pins and Needles was, in fact, a product of the borscht school: Composer Harold (I Can Get It for You Wholesale} Rome, then an unknown tune peddler, was a member of the staff of a resort hotel when the I.L.G.W.U. heard of his talent for grinding out entertainment for the guests.

The industrial production index in June barely managed to inch its way up from May's 117.5 to 117.8. June's $700 million increase in total personal income was the smallest for any month since January, and factory workers' income actually declined by $200 million. The gross national product, which...
...Minister. These institutional demands have had their effect on the seminaries. In the interest of "making Christianity relevant" and "vitalizing the curriculum," Berger charges, the divinity schools have tended to shunt the theology aside and substitute a welter of courses in sociology, psychology, church management and literature.
