...outspoken critic of the kind of exploitative industrialization that Westerners blame for dotting their country with mining and timber ghost towns, Simpson is at the same time a tireless exponent of responsible economic development. In his administration Wyoming, already friendly toward new investment, made the welcome well-nigh irresistible. Against a tendency of other Rocky Mountain states to "make industry pay" by levying special taxes, e.g., a severance tax on minerals taken out of the ground and shipped away, Wyoming hewed to an exceptionally favorable tax policy supported by Democrats as well as Republicans. Not only is there no severance...
...Third Game belonged to the ancient of the Yankees, Enos Slaughter, 41. The tireless outfielder, who gets his pep from a diet of blackstrap molasses and sunflower-seed oil, waited until the eleventh inning, while Whitey Ford, his sore arm suddenly healthy, held the Sox to a 1-to-1 tie. Then, Enos stepped to the plate, took an effortless swing at the first pitch and sent the ball high and far into the right center-field stands.

Former winners turn out in their bright livery (now red instead of Doggett's orange) and proud 12-oz. silver arm badges to cock critical eyes from official launches.

But he could not relax as he saw the grinding poverty and encountered the stifling state control and the huge capital shortage that pervades Asia. "Everybody seemed to be sitting around without hope. Nobody seemed to know about free enterprise and what made it click...
Right from the start Althea grimly set her lips and set out to play a man's game. Lean and agile (5 ft. 10¾ in., 138 lbs.), she sprinted about the court on tireless legs, belted her serves with unladylike gusto. For one giddy moment, all England hoped that a strapping (5 ft. 11 in., 155 lbs.) English schoolgirl of 16 named Christine Truman could stop Althea in the semifinals. Christine seemed to some to be the best British prospect in 20 years, but Althea was not impressed. "I'll gobble her up," she said coolly...
