Continued suppression of the facts behind the decisions in labor-management differences is more than anything else a sign of weak and subservient unionism. No healthy union would sign without a murmur a contract which in these inflationary days gives its members only an imaginary wage rise--as yesterday's "grant" from the University so obviously does...
Americans must analyze this bi-partisan foreign policy carefully. Republicans achieved the majority in Congress with precious little said about foreign affairs. Thus the confusion within the G.O.P. on just what form American internationalism should take went by unnoticed. Distaste for Truman's domestic polities gave rise to an imposing carteblanche delivered to men of unknown sympathies.

People living near the plants will get more gamma rays through their gonads. So will people farther away, affected by radioactive by-products from the plants' exhausts. Possible result: more redheaded children will be born in black-haired families, and more mutations will lurk in the germ plasm to scandalize future neighbors...
