...better solution than Federal aid expressed in subsidies would be the recently proposed $300,000,000 program for Federal scholarships. Such a scheme, if administered correctly, might be immune to Federal control, and would hit directly at the problem of helping qualified men of low income families reach college. As proposed to Congress by the President, this plan would "assist capable youths who could not otherwise do so" to attend any institution of their choice that would admit them. Such a program, however, would only be as effective as the machinery set up for determining the intellectual qualifications and real...
During the visit, France's Foreign Minister Robert Schuman had a 70-minute session with Britain's Ernest Bevin. They did not reach or seek specific agreements, merely exchanged views on many subjects of interest to both countries; the diplomats call this a tour d'horizon. But the most important discussions centered on European integration, where, according to the French, the British have been dragging their feet. Bevin explained Britain's position-particularly on the U.S.-backed European payments scheme: 1) the United Kingdom's dollar reserves are so low that she cannot commit herself...
...business in agriculture. Does Pick-Sloan attempt to take advantage of the vast, untapped manganese deposits lying along the upper and middle Missouri?

And if I were to stop and plead fatigue, or poor memory, or ask to rest-the wall again, and the slaps, and the blows in the nape...
...Illinois betatron, the electrons circle a nine-foot, doughnut-shaped tube 140,000 times in four one-thousandths of a second, reach a speed only one-millionth part less than the speed of light. In accordance with Einstein's laws of relativity, the speed increases their mass 600 times. (The last few m.p.h. come hardest. Theoretically, if they reached the speed of light, their mass would be infinite-which is impossible...
