...strength required by the U.S. in its contest with international Communism depends heavily on the continued vigor of the nation's economy. Last week, in preparing the national budget-one of the biggest single factors in shaping the economy-President Kennedy made it clear that the Administration is concerned about the state of the economy and the heavy load it must bear to keep the U.S. in fighting trim. For the New Frontier, Kennedy decreed a new fiscal policy: frugality...
...Lowell's case at least, one man's muse is another man's poison. About half of the poems still show the smudge of translation; about half read like English originals composed by a talented foreigner. But a few of them roil and hiss with the vigor and brilliance that makes Lowell, at 44, one of America's major minor poets...
...most concerned is Maurice Girodias, a 42-year-old Parisian who runs Olympia Press, the world's most notorious publisher of English-language pornography. Girodias, an amiable, vague, unbusinesslike man, plays the role of a monster of depravity with vigor but no consistency, registering at different times belligerence, shy embarrassment, prosperous self-satisfaction, artiness, guilt, and a well-practiced sinister leer. Last week it was artiness; he would like nothing better than to be put out of business, he said-in fact Olympia's sole aim has been to batter down the bastions of censorship and make...
...University of Washington, they got an unusually warm reception. Waiting to greet them was Professor (of Fisheries) Lauren R. Donaldson, their breeder, nurse and public relations man. For these were no ordinary salmon. Conceived on the campus, they were the third generation of college-bred chinooks, selected for vigor, meatiness and quick maturing. Dr. Donaldson hopes to develop them into a race of supersalmon that will forage in the northeast Pacific like high-bred beef cattle on the Nebraska sand hills...
Hereditary Vigor. Each succeeding year Donaldson has graduated groups of fingerling salmon, identifying their class by clipping their belly fins. In 1955 came a startling break; 48 of the fingerlings released in 1952 came back from the ocean full grown. This was revolutionary; chinook salmon normally take four years to reach maturity. Donaldson selected spawn from the best of the 48, nursed the hatchlings into fingerlings and launched them into the sea. The fast-growing trait proved permanent; in 1958 a startling proportion of the class of '55 returned full grown to the hatchery. They were...
