...political rivals, rarely failing to kiss his female congregant-constituents as they filed past after his spellbinding sermons. Elected to the House in 1944, he kept piling up fame and fortune, acquired a powder-blue Mark V Jaguar, a destroyer-grey Nash-Healey, two boats, three posh homes. 20 winter suits, and, in lawful succession, two wives. Wife No. 1 was a trim Cotton Club chorine, whom Powell divorced in 1945 ("I fear I just outgrew her"). Wife No. 2 is Jazz Pianist Hazel Scott, who spends most of her time in Paris these days, amid epidemic rumors of impending...

For example, the 3½% bond that came out in February was bid up to 107.10, a price that gave speculators a profit of 250% on their actual cash investment...
...best mechanized farm, President Eisenhower, an old friend of Campbell's, asked the Agriculture Department to put them under Tom Campbell's wing. Campbell assured the Russians that they could achieve the same yield by adopting U.S. methods, clinched his argument by revealing that the winter wheat he is growing is actually Russian Kharkov wheat, which he brought back to Montana with him when he returned from Russia...
