...total three-and-a-half billion dollar mutual security proposal, over $718 million would go for some kind of economic assistance. Thus, although the larger part of the funds is still designed for military support of the free world, increased appropriations will make possible expanded technical cooporation and development assistance. Such economic aid would come, in some instances, directly from the U.S., and others, it would be channeled through the United Nations or regional economic pools such as the Colombo Plan. The President, in addition, requested a flexible fund for Asian economic development for use at his discretion within limits...
Correlation came from behind with a rush, passed horses in rapid-fire order and galloped across the finish line with Shoemaker looking over his shoulder at Fisherman, three-and-a-half lengths behind. The official time: a sparkling 1:50, three-fifths faster than Native Dancer's winning time a year ago.

Jockey Shoemaker, looking ahead to the extra furlong in this week's Kentucky Derby, was convinced he had a router, too. "He was running good. There was plenty of horse...
...concert sponsored by the Harvard and Radcliffe Music Clubs in the Fogg Museum Courtyard last Thursday included selections written over a three-and-a-half century span.

Alias Mr. Brown. In May 1939, while still Premier, Molotov succeeded Maxim Litvinoff as Foreign Commissar. Three-and-a-half months later he shocked the world with the Nazi-Soviet pact. Both sides solemnly swore to "refrain from every aggressive action"; the effect was that the Reich was free to attack the democracies while Russia grabbed half of Poland and the Baltic Republics: Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia. Then Hitler invaded Russia. Talking before Allied diplomats, Stalin would speak to Molotov of "your treaty with Ribbentrop." Stalin startled Sir Stafford Cripps by offering to sack Molotov, if the British wished...
...Crimson, 19 to 10, after the first ten minutes. In the second quarter, the home team scored 14 straight points in one spurt and ran ahead, 45 to 20, at the half. After that Columbia Coach Lou Rossini substituted freely, using 18 men in a three-and-a-half platoon setup. The Crimson finally outscored Columbia, 18 to 17, in the fourth period...
