...highly conscientious legislator. Hays had been so busy with the unfamiliar duties and responsibilities of his new post as lay president of the Southern Baptist Convention that he could find little time to do his homework on the new foreign-aid program. On the committee's first go-round, he instinctively voted against a sharp departure from Congress' customary practice of year-to-year authorizations for foreign aid. But Hays felt uneasy about his vote. On his weekend, he read up on the advantages of a long-range fund: e.g., a three-year authorization, in place...

Pinkerton's and Cio-Cio-San's famous love scene climaxed by her Twilight Has Fallen, and Butterfly's lingering, final-curtain suicide touched off a round of applause that lasted through ten curtain calls.

Standing Bear touched off the first charge of dynamite on June 3, 1948 (each blast removes about 200 tons of rock), and the sculpting has been going on ever since. So have arguments...
...Rush to Boost. In the past, steel price increases have been immediately felt throughout the economy as users rushed to pass on the hike to the consumer. But there was considerable doubt that last week's boost would set off a round of consumer price rises. Competition is intense, and many industries may prefer to absorb the increases-which amount to only $11.58 on a $3,000 car, 66? on a $300 refrigerator-rather than raise prices; others may delay price increases for many months.
