...open-air market near Manchester last week, Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, smiling in the hustings, took his stand alongside a gypsy fortuneteller's trailer, confidently told an audience of 300 tweedy housewives and white-aproned fruit vendors: "This country is better off today-better fed, better clothed, better housed-better off in every way than ever before in history." Before another knot of housewives in a shopping center north of London, Labor's leader, Hugh Gaitskell, demanded, "What's being done about spreading that prosperity among all of us?", went on to tout...
...danger was past, though the fire itself smoldered softly through the duff on the forest floor. Remarkably, nobody was killed (a few fire fighters were injured), and the only severe damage for Deadwood came with the destruction of the two lumber plants, a lot of dry lawns, a trailer park, a few houses on the town's edge, and Deadwood Dick's famous cabin in the woods.

Irene Bennett saw her husband grab one of the children, hold on to a sapling with his other hand and straighten "like a flag on a flagpole." Then, as he let go, the mountain crashed down around them in an avalanche of rocks, shattered trees and earth. Next day only Irene Bennett and Phillip were found...
...vote. That same day he telephoned union leaders in each swing man's home district, urged protests against the Congressman's "betrayal" of labor. Commanding one A.F.L.-C.I.O. Steelworker official to put the heat on a New Jersey Congressman, Zagri spoke like a crusader on a trailer-truck parking lot: "Get a delegation down here tomorrow morning and tear his door down." He provided his agents with sample form letters to send in, urged wires, calls and protest meetings, brought non-Teamster unionists to Washington to badger Congressmen, and did most of the talking...
