...people told him that the Soviet's rising technology needed some freedom from terror, and he set a new course of demote, not destroy; prosper, not starve. "It is not wrong," said he, as he laid claim to be Communism's first popular leader, "to throw in a piece of bacon and a piece of butter in the course of improving the theory of Marx." And Khrushchev's cloistered view of capitalism persuaded him that he could change the ways of the outside world-a world of law and liberty and a heritage of Christian morality...
...Cardinals in 1957. Last year he had a record of 14-13, but led the league's starters with an earned-run average of 2.88, and struck out 225 batters. Traded to the Giants, Jones has had no trouble finding the plate this season: "I guess when you throw a million balls you learn what's going over and what...
Jerome T. Kilty '49 returned to Wellesley to direct and star in his adaptation of Shaw's Man and Superman, which drama critic Elliot Norton '26 has called "the greatest comedy of the 20th century."

From the Commerce Department came a report calculated to throw a chill into both steel labor and steel management. During July, steel imports-which were pushing toward new highs even before the strike began-soared to a monthly record of 430,000 tons. The new imports brought the seven-month intake to 2.3 million tons, almost the equivalent of the output of a steel mill the size of Republic's 9,500-man Cleveland plant; foreign steel mills in 1959 had already sold U.S. customers more steel than in any full year in history. Republic Steel's Chairman...
