...terms of dawns, and ands, and buts, and onwards, and dew, and dusk, while at the same time making a lot of good hard cash to the evocative vocabulary of traffic, tax, protection, quota, levy, duties, or subsidies while compiling a third and wholly different literary style (pious, holy, prudent, sterling, gorsoons, lassies, maidens, sacred, traditional, forefathers, mothers, grandmothers, ancestors, deeprooted, olden, venerable, traditions, Gaelic, timeworn, and immemmorial) to dodge the more awkward social, moral and political problems that any country might, with considerable courage, hope to solve in a century of ruthless political thinking. The ambivalence, once perceived, demanded...
This week the first U.S. ship, the 9,277-ton cargo liner President Jackson, is due to pass through, and two U.S. oil companies notified the State Department that their tankers would soon follow. In line with U.S. policy as clarified by President Eisenhower last week-shippers should "be prudent" in using the canal, but "I don't believe we have told them they shouldn't use it"-the Jackson will pay its dues "under protest...

The viewer is left to judge between the newscaster's demand for free expression and the network president's case against giving so much power to one man. In effect, the script gives the reader fresh reason...

Blue-suited for the TV cameras but wearing a red tie for old Socialism's sake, Party Chairman Erich Ollenhauer had himself one of the best days of his parliamentary career. Carefully endorsing the U.S. stand on Suez and Hungary as "prudent," he announced that Socialists favor honoring Germany's treaty obligations "including those of a military nature," i.e., in NATO. Abandoning another longtime Socialist position, the party now accepts a standing army...
