With Eisenhower as the Republican entry, the Democratic nomination would certainly seem less appealing to the dark horse candidates who might have cut in on Stevenson's lead. Chuckled Stevenson's Campaign Manager Jim Finnegan: "Now they'll be sitting around hoping that lightning does not strike." This could only hurt New York's Governor Averell Harriman, who had based his "inactive" candidacy on the hope that he might be tapped after a convention deadlock resulting from a multiplicity of candidates. Harriman's age (64) makes 1956 a now-or-never proposition, and he probably...
...boondocks uprising is the current fad in Latin American rebellions; instead of storming the capital, the insurrection-aries plan to strike a spark in some comfortably distant spot and wait for the country to catch fire.

The company has $500 million in Government orders, mainly for the F-84F Thunderstreak and RF-84F Thunderflash...
...hour in fringe benefits. Relations between Republic and the I.A.M. have been poor ever since the union organized the plant in 1950. The union now has 12,000 members, leaving another 7,000 workers nonunion. The local is faction-ridden, has twice pulled wildcat walkouts. After a 1952 "sick" strike, the irritated international censured the local leaders...
