...Federal Republic of Germany, made his way across the eastern half of the U.S. last week, there was something manifestly rocklike about his manner. It was more than his flinty visage, more than his granitic words of advice (see below). In Konrad Adenauer the nation perceived a solid faith that the only way to preserve the West against Communism-smiling or unsmiling-is a steadfast pursuit of the policy of strength. Measured by Adenauer the Rock, it was clear how far the Western allies have drifted since Moscow began its seductive foreign policy aimed at neutralizing Germany and confusing...

By selling off these assets, Albert picked up cash, which he used to buy more companies when he could not trade stock...
...phase, the Democratic contest is essentially a two-man race. Stevenson's solid victory in California practically eliminated another dark horse, Missouri's U.S. Senator Stuart Symington, who might have come forward as the leading "moderate" candidate if Stevenson had faltered. As the delegate-counting season opened, Stevenson clearly had a long lead in delegates pledged, announced or presumed to be for him. The best estimates at week's end of first-ballot strength...
