...Eisenhower-Kennedy transition could well serve to remind the Communist world that beneath the ofttimes deep confiicts of political parties and viewpoints, the U.S. is one nation, indivisible. Nikita Khrushchev, an old hand at fostering divisions within nations, made a point in recent weeks of attacking Eisenhower, stressing that the inauguration of a new President would bring new hopes for U.S.-Russian accommodations. "A new page in U.S. history begins," proclaimed the Soviet newspaper Trud just before the inauguration. But if the page was new, it was a new page of the same book-the book that began on July...

It is a lesson Britons know well, and on cue they burst into selfcriticism. Critics cited examples of British firms that still often give Continental customers specifications of products in feet instead of meters.

But in the Uphaus case, Justice Clark's majority statement bowed to the State's right to determine whether there were subversive persons in New Hampshire. Since Arkansas deems the NAACP a subversive group, Southern lawyers have been given a new legal leg to dance on, and are using...
...pays his help well; a few Neiman clerks, working on commission as well as salary, can earn up to $25,000 a year. In return Marcus demands that they be unfailingly polite no matter how uncouth the customer may seem. He likes to remind them of the cotton-smocked girl who once came in straight off her father's farm. Papa had just struck oil, and Daughter spent $10,000 to outfit herself in style, including shoes for her bare feet...
