...once-gay whoopers learned to shun civilization. Whenever the white man's guns appeared, they fled deeper into the wilderness. Now their remnants breed in some unknown place in Canada's far north. This tactic of despair may be their final undoing: they are not Arctic birds, and are probably unsuited to far northern breeding grounds...
...switch at Carbide & Carbon was a minor triumph for the C.I.O. As a last-minute campaign tactic it had accused the A.F.L. of scheming to put Oak Ridge workers into the corrupt and autocratic Hod Carriers Union.

It would actually be dangerous to enter into cumbersome and unworkable compromises which would give the illusion of unity but withhold the political and economic benefits. Far better would be frank acceptance of the division of Germany, and a firm concentration of the efforts of the Western powers on putting Western Germany on its feet. On the other hand, past experience proved that nothing...
