Nevertheless, just that style of journalism has made the Mirror the biggest daily in the world (circ. 4,432,700).

North Carolina's Clyde Hoey bluntly told Humphrey that, if the Administration had known on July 1 that an increase in the debt limit was necessary, it should have told Congress on July 2, not waited until the last minute. Senators were sore about the delay, especially since they suspected that the Administration had deliberately waited until appropriations bills were passed: if Congress had got the debt-increase request a week earlier, it might have cut foreign-aid appropriations more deeply...
