...Within the State Department there are already two possible choices--Undersecretaries Herter and Dillon--and outside the Department there are more--John McCloy, General Alfred Gruenther, and Ambassador David Bruce.

Herter, seriously crippled by arthritis, has only been in the Department a few years; Dillon, though young and reportedly popular with Eisenhower, lacks a really broad background in foreign policy.

The plan thus frees the homeowner for a quick turnover of houses, frees the broker or builder of strain while he holds the house for a good sale...
Continental sells its 65-Plus policies through newspaper ads, thus cuts insurance agents' commissions. An applicant needs no physical examination, simply signs a coupon in the ad and sends it in. Monthly premiums of $6.50 provide hospitalization benefits of up to $610 for each different illness incurred within a six-month span. After the details of an application are punched on IBM cards, the computer takes over. It prints the policy, monthly-payment cards, self-addressed envelopes and claim forms, cuts policy-processing costs to about $4 v. $12 for a regular policy...
