Unions have done much good for the country, and will be needed in the future; but when a "nod of the head" can close down entire industries, it is time to enact restraints on big labor similar to those on big business and big government...
Argentina grew out of experiences deceptively similar to those that made the U.S. strong-a frontier tradition of hard-riding gaucho and hard-working settler, a Buenos Aires melting pot that produced a prosperous middle class, a good public school system based on the ideas of egalitarian U.S. Educator Horace Mann. But the immigrant millions came mostly from impecunious southern Italy and Spanish Galicia, and their deepest hunger proved to be for economic security, not freedom. They added a significant saying to the Argentine speech: "Don't get involved." Their sons, who like their beefsteaks cut thick and their...
...Philharmonic Orchestra. Earlier in the day, Conductor Leonard Bernstein had led the players in passages from Aaron Copland's suite, Billy the Kid, and Dmitry Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7, finding in the two compositions an off-the-cuff evidence that Russian and U.S. cultures share a similar sense of humor and a "touching naivete" and frankness, "although our political differences do not always allow it." In a dramatic last concert ending their 20-day Russian tour...
...that a genuine knowledge of man's moral obligations necessarily involves a belief in God," only 28 per cent of those believing in some Divine presence replied in the affirmative. Seventy-nine per cent of the believers felt that the ethical opinions of atheists and agnostics were quite similar to theirs, and that both groups were just as likely to do "the morally right or kind thing."

...Crack. In pursuit of this theory the Lamont men, soon helped by other oceanographers, followed the crack in the sinuous ridge. Sometimes they spotted it on new depth charts, sometimes on old ones. When they noticed that many shallow earthquakes came from under it, they searched seismograph records for similar earthquake centers in unsounded parts of the oceans. By last week the Lamont men could trace the cracks 40,000 miles clear around the earth (see map). As in the Atlantic, the cracks generally follow the tops of rises in the ocean bottom. They stay midway between large land masses...
