INVOKING Taft-Hartley in the dock and steel strikes, President Eisenhower last week set in motion a device which, despite continuing criticism, has had better than fair success over the past twelve years. The law's aim is to ensure production for an 80-day "cooling-off period" in strikes or threatened strikes found to imperil the "national health or safety," thereby giving management and labor a chance to resume negotiations toward a new contract.

...famed Hoover Institute of War, Revolution and Peace, where he became director in 1952. His goal at 107-year-old Mills is "tough minds," a sharp upgrading of liberal arts. Last week Mills announced the end of its B.S. degree and home economics courses.

His aim (with his own term going on through 1964) is to get some fun out of it-particularly at the Democrats' expense. Last week, in a speech before a Republican fund-raising dinner in Danbury, Conn., Republican Keating reviewed "the Democratic Astronautical Missile Program, familiarly known to those of us in the scientific world as DAMP," offered his own tongue-in-cheek countdown...
