...Secretary of Defense McElroy and Procter & Gamble reminds me of a time when, as one of a group of chemical warfare inspectors in training, I was sent to a P. & G.-operated shell-loading plant in Tennessee to observe the handling of explosives. P. & G. maintained a discipline in regard to safety rules that is still a goal with me in my present role as teacher and mother. If Mr. McElroy can apply to the Pentagon some of the principles that were of paramount importance in P. & G.'s plant, he'll come through with flying colors...
...Britain and Malaya of $1,680,000,000 and nearly 4,500 lives. "My aim," says Abdul Rahman, "is to bring an end to the Communist terrorists' war by August 31, 1958.

What keeps this clumsy, costly apparatus from the scrap heap is longstanding political regard for the farm vote. Understandably, U.S. farmers have learned to use political power to make up for economic weakness. Unlike big unions, farmers have no collective bargaining power. Unlike big corporations, they cannot control the supply of their products. When the nation's farms produce too much wheat, an individual farmer cannot keep the price up by holding part of his crop off the market: even a big farmer's share of the total wheat supply is a thimbleful in a carload...
