...husband is a Southern gentleman and he believes in slave labor-mine . . . but I simply can't imagine the sort of household Mr. Fischer is describing, since I do the painting, the wallpapering, the sewing, cooking, dishwashing and other such activities around here. I am genuinely glad to see Pappy come home at 5:30. Not to nag at him, either, because I think he is wonderful...
...course, a grim, ironic joke in Russia that the vast hinterland conceals numberless prison camps, slave-labor projects, and an abysmally low standard of living among all but party people. These were experts in that kind of concealment, and they laughed appreciatively at Bulganin's easy reference to the "vast territories in which, if desired, one can conceal anything." But it was a guffaw all too reminiscent of Vishinsky's famous blunder ("I could hardly sleep all last night . . . because I kept laughing," said Vishinsky of U.S. peace proposals in 1951).

If Russia satisfied these three preconditions, said Dulles, then the West would ease its pressure...
...Arabia I saw many slaves of my race. There are slave markets in all the big towns there. The slave traffic starts at sundown. The big chiefs examine us and select those they want, just like at a camel fair. You can buy a man like me for a pinch of gold." Ex-Slave Awad El Goud is only one of many French African Moslems who have been kidnaped into slavery as pilgrims to Mecca. Last week his story was told in Paris by Emmanuel La Graviére, Calvinist minister and Assemblyman of the French Union. "In the course...
