Hopeful Compromise. Sudan's first national election was in no sense the culmination of a people's long struggle to be free. At best it was the hopeful byproduct of a diplomats' compromise, reached between Sudan's master, Imperial Britain, and its expansion-minded neighbor, Egypt. The British annexed Sudan in 1899, after an Anglo-Egyptian army defeated Mahdi's followers at the battle of Omdurman. At first both London and Cairo shared the administration, but in 1925 the British kicked their partner out. Egyptian independence left Sudan as the northern bulwark of Britain...

Clement Attlee told the voters that Churchill "believes in giving opportunities of profitmaking to private individuals; the general good is only a byproduct."

...they got over their natural skittishness of the facts of unconscious life, informal, easygoing Bob Young found it surprisingly easy to get his clerical couples talking about their aggressions, repressions and sexual problems.

No, said the ministers: men crucified him because they were not yet ready...
Sometimes research leads P. & G. far afield. Long a seller of cellulose (a byproduct of cottonseed crushing) to the chemical and plastics industries, P. & G. recently found the demand far bigger than it could supply. President McElroy's solution was typical. He bought 560.000 acres of pineland in Florida, set up a $35 million plant to produce cellulose from wood pulp, now has his researchers testing ways to use the part of the pine tree not used for cellulose...
