...Work. True stories of Brown at work are becoming legends of European labor. In the darkened Lamand Café, in the French mining center of Lens, Brown met in 1946 with six miners. Their leader, tough, 76-year-old Henri Mailly, wore a bullet-holed beret, newly ventilated by a Communist potshot. Said Mailly: "The Communists have everything, even our old union building. But we are willing to fight." An organization campaign was laid that might, with a key man in each...
...battle line, 450,000 men-much of the cream of U.S. military manpower-burrowed dismally into the Korean snow and mud, to wait for they knew not what. On the other side, 900,000 of the enemy did the same. Occasionally, on either side, a man died-a bullet in the brain, a mutilating date with a mortar shell, a ride to earth in a jetpropelled funeral pyre. But the dying settled nothing...
Hungary's bullet-headed Boss Matyas Rakosi became his nation's first citizen after a long and diligent apprenticeship in murder, conspiracy, intimidation and other arts of Communist politics.

Two brand-new fire engines had just been delivered from Japan...
Fred L. Whipple, professor of Astronomy, described the proposed methods of launching rocket ships and returning them to the earth. He considered dust particles a main danger, for at the speeds at which they travel in space, they can hit a ship like a .45 calibre bullet. He thought landing the rockets was the major problem. Atomic energy is not being considered for fuel, he said...
