...perennial resolution proposing membership for Red China is almost certain to be rejected for the 19th year, despite oblique hints from Peking that it is ready, after just as many years of indifference, to join the roster. The Red Chinese are expected to receive support from Canada and Italy, whose envoys are currently negotiating diplomatic recognition of Red China. The U.S., as always, will lead the opposition. There are reports as well that East Germany is anxious for membership, and that East European nations will attempt a bit of backdoor maneuvering in order to gain U.N. status for Walter Ulbricht...
Young People. The N.P.D. finds support largely among farmers, lower-middle-class burghers, blue-collar workers, the military and, surprisingly, some young people, mostly high school graduates. Sociologist Erwin Scheuch of the University of Cologne describes N.P.D. sympathizers as "society's relative losers, members of an affluent society who are, relatively speaking, not prospering enough." Less gently, Kiesinger describes them as "the peripheral beings -the malcontents and the moaners who somehow cannot come to terms with the world." To be sure, Von Thadden appeals to those with overpowering personal frustrations. But he also aims at a far wider audience...
...offer has been and is a three-year package that amounts to a 24% increase -or $17,370. "We are entitled to make as much as, if not more than plumbers,"*the legal spokesman, Herman Gray, asserts.

...Sheil's predilections led him into alliance with John L. Lewis, whose CIO was attempting to organize the meat packers and increase their 390 hourly wage. Chicago's hog butchers bitterly resented hierarchical support for the workers. "I want you to remember, your excellency," a Catholic banker told Sheil as the bishop prepared to appear at a CIO meeting, "that the minute you step on that platform you lose your chance to become an archbishop." Sheil eyed the man disdainfully. "You should know," he replied, "that I wasn't ordained a priest to become an archbishop." With...
When John D. Rockefeller Jr. visited Williamsburg, Va., in 1926, it had all the charm of an unkempt graveyard. Block after block of ramshackle, weather-leached houses seemed to lean into each other for support. Rockefeller threw his formidable support into founding and nurturing Colonial Williamsburg, Inc., a richly endowed corporation that transformed the city's old section into a tourist attraction by painstakingly restoring its splendor as Virginia's former capital. Ever since, Colonial Williamsburg has been successfully transforming history into a lively happening...
