...records of repair dated 1853 through 1855 state that the Constellation has the original keel, frames from six foot upward from the keel, ballast, and stem. It does state that the old vessel was taken down to bare structure and rebuilt as a sloop of 24 guns. It was pointed out to me that in 1852 the ship was placed in drydock to check her underside and that it was found that a false keel should have been made as her old keel was badly warped or bogged. I found that in July and August of 1853 the false keel...
However, Jaspers' essential confidence does not stem from such cold comforts. He insists that "however minute a quantity the individual may be among the factors that make history, he is a factor."

...territories straddle the continent's southern stem and cover an area as large as Western Europe. One is square, massive Angola (pop. 4,500,000), which sprawls below the Congo along 1,100 miles of the western Atlantic shore, where Lisbon's navigators arrived in the isth century. Across the continent is the other half of Dictator-Premier António de Oliveira Salazar's African empire, Mozambique (pop. 6,300,000), whose Indian Ocean ports are among the best on the east coast. In both, the populations are sealed off from the outside world with ruthless...

Since then, says a New Orleans attorney, "he has disappointed a lot of his enemies and surprised many of his friends." The reactions stem from the quality of his tough decisions: alone or in tandem with fellow Fifth Circuit judges, Wisdom has outlawed a Louisiana law that forbade Negroes to participate in sports events with whites, and ruled unconstitutional another Louisiana law requiring the N.A.A.C.P. to reveal its membership lists. Last year, serving...
AIRLINE TRAFFIC CUT will probably result from the President's order to reduce number of military dependents abroad to stem gold outflow. Last year airlines earned $68 million ferrying 428,000 dependents. But projected contracts for $35 million to haul 221,000 persons in 1961 are now in doubt...
