...year ago Fulton was ordered to integrate by a federal court order, got a year's delay because the term had already begun. The community used the year to good advantage. There were no formal meetings, sermons, speeches or editorials, but community leaders set up an informal living-room and street-corner campaign to tell the youngsters matter-of-factly that September would bring integration and they should make the best...
...grew up in a world of hardheaded business. He took over Chile's paper monopoly, ran it on the no-nonsense theory that what is good for the company is bound to be good for the workers, made both himself and his employees prosperous.

Capitol's new record...
Most international financial experts believe quotas on both the World Bank and the IMF should be raised. But there is skepticism over Ike's third point, the International Development Association. The association would make long-term low-interest loans for projects the bank did not want to back because the borrower might not be able to pay back the money in hard currency. The IDA would accept repayments in soft currency...
