National Chairman Guy Gabrielson and the rest of the strategy committee endorsed the chairman's words. But two facts stood in the way of translating the words into an undeviating policy. Republican policy in 1950 will be made by the party's congressional leaders who did not attend the Chicago meeting. And few politicians believe that Republicans can recapture the decisive votes of the nation's political independents with a program of indiscriminate opposition...
Hisses and catcalls from the Communist claque in the spectators' gallery drowned out the rest of Kostov's statement.

A sentry walked his muddy post for four hours, stopped at the last tent as his relief reported, put his rifle to his mouth and blew the top of his head off. This seemed...
...present time, the final adoption of these rules will be held up until the FCC finishes talking about color television. When they finally come up for approval, the FCC ought to reconsider its clause on cutting power. The rest of the regulations can eliminate the problem of interference quite nicely, and college radio does not deserve to be short-circuited out of business...
