...booted out of his $6,500-a-year job a few weeks ago and into retirement with a $96-a-month pension. At the same time, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. fired, retired or switched to different jobs nearly 100 organizers (out of 218). The A.F.L.-C.I.O. explained the shake-out as a necessary economy measure, but to the jolted organizers and ex-organizers it seemed just a hard-fisted example of old-fashioned capitalistic union-busting.

...complain: "It is nothing but boring trash now." At Moscow last fall he publicly accepted Soviet leadership over all Communist nations. Last fortnight he met Khrushchev secretly at the border-to ask new, large-scale Soviet economic aid, said unofficial Warsaw sources. His party purge, which was supposed to shake out the old Stalinists and strengthen his leadership, has bogged down into a sort of cataloguing census. The blighting bureaucrats Gomulka hoped to get rid of have clung like leeches to their party membership while the workers who were supposed to be the base of the new party have streamed...
SIVA, the Creator-Destroyer of Hinduism's trinity, once stood on a demon and with one of his four arms began to shake a little hand drum. To the beat of this rhythm Siva moved his body, and with his movement the world took shape; he danced on and on until creation was completed...
