When he turned to the charges made by the majority against the chairman, Directors Morgan and Lilienthal also did all the talking, Chairman Morgan none.

Samples: that Chairman Morgan, in an Atlantic Monthly article on public power programs, had "impugned the integrity of the Tennessee Valley Authority," that he had consulted with a former private utility executive, onetime Vice President George...

The three great religious feasts of the Jews-Passover, Pentecost, Succoth-are fundamentally harvest festivals. Though in the centuries of the Diaspora (dispersion) circumstances have forced most Jews into occupations from which they could pull up stakes at any time, there nevertheless have always been farmer Jews somewhere. Today there are 800,000 Jewish farmers in the world...
