Harry Truman will never have seen anything quite like the 1956 convention, which should bug even Chicago's convention-jaded eyes. Into the city, beginning late this week, will stream up to 20,000 conventiongoers, led by 2,477 delegates and 1,850 alternates, to jam hotels and motels for 50 miles around. A fantastic corps of 4,000 reporters, pundits, photographers, radio and television performers, spielsmen and technicians (almost double the number in 1952) will swarm around Chicago's International Amphitheatre employing 400 veteran telegraphers to transmit 600,000 words an hour, sending photo plates whirlybirding from...

After she slipped out into the Hudson River, she idled in the stream while the larger (44,356 tons) lie de France swung from her pier down the Hudson.

Sometimes, with all the outrage of an Englishman or American whose patience has been tried beyond endurance by Indian backwardness and inefficiency...
Trickle into Stream. In such local campaigns India's nationalist Mahasabha Party is doing its best to win back Hindus who have converted to Christianity. So far only a few have trickled back to Hinduism. But this tiny trickle is showing signs of growing into a stream. Next month the Mahasabha begins a nationwide drive for reconversion. And last week a six-man committee appointed by the state of Madhya Pradesh charged that Christian mission activity is "part of a uniform world policy to revive Christendom for the re-establishment of Western supremacy, and is not prompted by spiritual...
