...three weeks before the big day in 1899, Boston papers expended quantities of ink and large headline type in following the exploits of their adopted national heroes...
This would be hard to prove. While overall housing starts are down some 20% this year, virtually all of the drop has been in the type of low-cost (under $15,000) Government-insured housing, where mortgage money is not available. There is little evidence of any slackening in demand for more expensive houses financed by conventional mortgages, whose 5½% to 6% interest rates (v. 4½% to 5% for Veterans Administration and FHA-insured mortgages) are competitive with other loans.

With ultimate goal of producing peaceful hydrogen electric power, eleven Texas utilities and General Dynamics Corp. are starting four-year, $10 million program in General Dynamics' San Diego lab to research ways of controlling H-bomb-type fusion...
...this type of evidence that makes the Hiss case so puzzling. If this typewriter thesis is true, then there is no doubt but that Chambers has lied, and that Hiss was "framed."

One would be horrible to cow-venerating Hindus; the other would be offensive to pork-abhorring Mohammedans. The troops in India were a fantastically mixed lot-and Indians do not mix well. There were not only the company troops but regiments in the service of Queen Victoria, and in the ranks discipline was snarled up in India's ancient caste...
