...from the Middle East to Russia to defense, one newsmaking proposal came from Canada's Diefenbaker. Having campaigned on a pledge to seek new markets for exports within the Commonwealth, he invited Commonwealth Finance Ministers to meet in Ottawa in September to map an agenda for a full-scale trade conference...
...potatoes?" Though the press-TV battle is widely debated in New Mexico, it was symptomatic of publishers' and broadcasters' sensitivity to criticism that neither the Associated Press nor the United Press filed a single story on the fight.

...exactly what he is doing. Most Othellos make the mistake of getting enraged too soon; consequently as the play progresses they try to bellow and shriek ever more loudly until the limit of intelligibility has been left far behind. But Hyman is careful to adjust to the big time scale of this process, so that the proper prolonged Beethovenian crescendo results. For, contrary to the popular conception, Othello is not by nature disposed toward jealousy: he is "one not easily jealous, but being wrought perplex'd in the extreme." He says of his wife, for example, "I'll tear...
