...friendly: "The revolution is irreversible. The truth is that there can be no Left or Right today; the revolution, through the unity of its practical action, is perforce its own Right and its own Left." If a few mistakes have been made, blame it on youth. "The greatest scandal of the Cuban revolution is not the expropriation of the planters, but the accession to power of children. Since a revolution was necessary, circumstances bade the children accomplish it. Touring the islands, I have met, dare I say it, my sons. No one is totally qualified in Cuba to do what...
...Democratic-controlled House. Surprise defectors were big-city Democrats, who have for years gone along with the farm bloc on high-price supports as a matter of party loyalty. But this year urbanized Congressmen have been feeling the sting of voters who blame the wheat farm-subsidy scandal for the rising cost of living. New England Democrats went solidly against the wheat bill, with the exception of Massachusetts' John McCormack, floor leader, and Connecticut's Chester Bowles, Democratic-convention-platform committee chairman. Only four of Pennsylvania's 16 Democrats were for the bill. All of New Jersey...
...Patrice Lumumba, 35, and roly-poly Joseph Kasavubu, 43.

By Elizabethan standards, Anne's pregnancy was no great scandal, but her age -an antique 26 or so to Will's 18-was. The sole clue as to how they got on together is a rather ambiguous bequest in Shakespeare's will: "Item, I give unto my wife my second-best bed with the furniture." Since Will spent most...
Despite an impressive contingent of crack newsmen-among them Damon Runyon, Courtney Ryley Cooper, Burns Mantle and Gene Fowler-the paper read like a circus flyer. For an editorial page, Tammen and Bonfils substituted invective, raked up so much scandal-a good deal of it true-that they kept a loaded shotgun in their office to discourage reader complaints. As the Post grew in power and prosperity, its proprietors branched into other fields; the Post became the first and last U.S. daily ever to own a circus (Sells-Floto), run a burlesque house and sell coal...
