Next morning Mr. Maverick was relieved to see that the accomplished proofreaders of the Congressional Record knew their Genesis and had given back the coat of many colors to its proper owner, Joseph. Texan Maverick relished it so much that he requested a report on the 40 Government Printing Office employes who have the awful job of reading the Congressional Record out loud to each other every night. In a solemn rejoinder the Government Printing Office listed other grievous blunders its proofreaders had caught. Sample: a speaker recently mentioned Bancroft's ghost. "Banquo," said the report, "was the party...
...chief types of legislation were possible: "voluntary" crop control-giving benefit payments to cooperate in crop reduction programs and giving loans on amounts withheld from the market: and compulsory control-levying penalties on excess production. Secretary Wallace observed in his annual report last month that although voluntary methods were preferable, compulsory methods should be invoked when crop reserves on hand grew too large.

...lost $13,200,000 and the directors were so worried that they hired a business analyst named James O. Mc-Kinsey to study the matter. Hulking, robust J. O. McKinsey was born a poor boy, became a professor, had never held a corporate job. But when he made his report after four months work, the directors were so impressed that they took a step drastic in any business and completely unprecedented in Field's 70-year-history of rooted conservatism-they made J. O. McKinsey chairman of the board and absolute dictator of company policy (TIME...
