Nonetheless, the odds of a Geneva Conference by October are virtually nil, though Vance still hopes that a reunion will occur by the end of the year That, however, will depend upon a tremendous amount of work-and luck...

...when you pulled the string. Uncle Sam pulled Hitler up on a tree limb and hanged him. The slogan was LET'S ALL PULL TOGETHER." A woman asks, "Do you remember punching oleo up in a bag to make it look like butter?" Restaurants posted a sign: USE LITTLE SUGAR AND STIR LIKE HELL. WE DON'T MIND THE NOISE. Radio stations did not give weather forecasts, lest they help the enemy launch an attack...
