Although the Taft-Hartley law was passed over President Truman's veto, Truman nonetheless used the cooling-off machinery ten times in six years. Before last week, Eisenhower had used it only five times in seven years. These 15 major strike threats and strikes included four on the docks, four on atomic-energy installations, three in the coal mines and one each in the steel, copper, telephone and meatpacking industries. The second fact-finding board, appointed March 15, 1948, investigated a meat-packing strike, became one of four to see its strike settled before an injunction...
...party images are often based on long-held feelings and fears that remain almost unchanged in the face of current facts. Thus, by 1952, after three wars under Democratic administrations, the G.O.P. had established itself in the popular mind as the party most likely to keep world peace. The seven peaceful years of the Eisenhower Administration have done little to change that image for better or worse.

If the school board, as expected, opens Orchard Villa to all Negro children in the neighborhood, Florida's barely begun integration experiment could be swamped right...
...year-old Roscoe Poe, who had made a delivery of linseed oil to New York and was hauling his tanker back to Philadelphia. Roscoe Poe's driving history was pock-marked with traffic violations and convictions: in the past five years, he had committed at least seven moving violations (speeding, passing red lights, etc.) in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. But there he was, still driving-and driving a truck with bad brakes...
...Nkrumah sent out secret orders for the Builders' Brigade to lie low. The result was a moral disaster for the U.P.: by the time election day came round last week, Ghana's uncorrupted, British-trained police had been forced to arrest 82 United Party toughs, while only seven of the C.P.P.'s boys got into trouble. And two C.P.P. men-the only martyrs of the whole election-lay dead, the victims of a U.P. mob. After that, Nkrumah's candidate was a shoo-in, and the P.M. himself could turn to other things. At week...
