...sought some moderating compromise, had a solid enough agreement from combined civil rights advocates to guarantee safe passage of a bill. Johnson kept a platoon of lawyers and staff assistants drafting and redrafting secret proposals. But mostly he waited, trusting to his uncanny instinct about the Senate to signal the right time to produce a proposal that had a chance to satisfy Northern liberals, moderate Democrats and Republicans, give him the 67 (two-thirds plus one) votes to win cloture and pass the legislation itself. Apparently the time was days away; when Oregon's maverick Democrat Wayne Morse offered...
...engine switches. No. 3 fired up, then No. 4; he gangbarred the other six simultaneously. In 45 seconds, all eight fires were roaring. Outside, crewmen hustled around disconnecting external power units. At exactly 11:04-four minutes after the klaxon-Bulli was ready for taxiing. If command post should signal a Coco alert, Bulli would start rolling for the runway. A call of Juliet or Romeo would send him into the air by 11:07 (well ahead of the 15-minute maximum requirement) to 40,000 feet-plus...

Furthermore, they point out that the rails, which once accounted for more than 50% of the value of stocks on the exchange, have dwindled to less than 5%, cannot be taken as seriously as they were when the Dow Theory was instituted. The crucial breakthrough by the industrials and rails was caused in part by investors who sold in fear that...
Whipsawed. Dow theorists admit that though their signals are late, better late than never. But few market experts put much faith in hindsight. A classic example of the Dow Theory's operation came in 1929, when, after industrials had dropped 80 points, the Dow signal finally flashed. The market eventually went considerably lower, but by that time thousands of investors' accounts had been wiped out; 1937 saw a similar occurrence. Actually, anyone heeding the Dow Theory's buy and sell signals since 1929 would have been wrong 15 times out of 24. On those occasions, he would...
