...simply sit here and vote for the Eisenhower program . . . However, we are told when we consider these bills that in order to make the bills vetoproof, we must pare them down ... to the point where they have about one-quarter of the significance we intended. As a result the bills are 90% Eisenhower bills and 10% Democratic amendments...
...result was considerably less exciting than the hullabaloo that went on outside the hall. Moscow, objecting to holding the West German election in Berlin, had made noisy threats before hand. Allied officials nervously watched the Autobahnen, expecting some kind of traffic obstruction by the Russians, and scores of police with walkie-talkies moved into position to guard against Communist demonstrations at the voting hall...
...another chance in September; those who fail then (80%) stay at school another year. Notable first-round failures: Anatole France, Alphonse Daudet, Andre Gide, Franchise Sagan. Though some brave bachot bumblers repeat the year as many as six times, others (like Gide) bid adieu to formal education forever.

Clothing is no longer even one of the Big Three. The average worker's family spends a seventh of its income on transportation -mostly on the family car-only a ninth on its backs. It gets considerably more use for its money; e.g., the average scrapping age of automobiles rose from 6½ years in 1925 to 13 in 1955, largely offsetting the increase...
