...soon found that budget-conscious Ike had the moderate-minded U.S. behind him, and beat a dignified retreat. When Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler castigated Johnson for being too cautious and conservative, the Senate Democrats rose up, almost to a man, to defend Johnson, and gave Butler the retort proper: mind your own business. As a good legislator, Johnson believes in taking a fatherly interest in the political and personal welfare of every one of his Democratic colleagues. If a fellow Senator is sick, Johnson demands a daily report-three or more a day, if the illness is serious...
Dutch Reformed leaders, unmoved, accused De Blank of pointing "an unclean finger of accusation." It is proper, they said, for the whites to tell the African that they did not wish to accept him in their church, for it would not be fair to expect him to be an imitation of the whites.

...Broad Brush. The curative rather than punitive goal of the Medical Facility proper is proclaimed by the staff of Aesculapius over its main entrance. One-third or more of its 1,350 inmates are in for crimes involving violence-from robbery to rape and murder.

...messages from civilizations outside the solar system is Harvard's Nobel Prize-winning Edward Mills Purcell, who with Harold I. Ewen was the first to detect the 21-cm. waves. If nonsolar aliens are sending messages to earth, theorizes Purcell, their first problem is to select the proper radio frequency, and their most likely choice is 21 cm., the sharpest and most universal radio waves that flash through space. Such aliens would reason that if earthlings have an electronic technology, they would know about the 21-cm. waves, and would be tuned to them...
Actually, Dr. Fisher pointed out to his own readers, Catholic doctrine "concedes that there are circumstances when it is right and proper that the size of the family should be restricted." This, Dr. Fisher seemed to suggest, constitutes a Catholic approval in principle of family planning. In this light, "there need be no difference" between Protestants and Catholics as to policy. The remaining differences, he suggested, are about method-the "safe period and abstinence" endorsed as the only permissible ones by the Catholic Church, and "other methods" approved by Protestants. The temper of the debate in the U.S. might...
