...governmental departments and agencies with their divergent interests. But if each staff member reported only to the President, the result would be merely the added complication of warring liaison men. In today's White House organization, the best roads to the President lead through Sherman Adams (see chart). The Limited Power. Adams has immense power, to the extent that New York Timesman James Reston, studying the state of the nation during the period of the President's recuperation, recently wrote: "There is a growing feeling here that Mr. Adams is now exercising more power than...
Lawrence Played Ball. Armed with her innumerable check lists, the modern teacher begins reading instruction not so much with books and pencils as with salamanders, household pets, trips to the zoo and the park. Chicago schools, for instance, have "storytelling" and "tell-and-do" times. Many cities use "experience charts."

In the current market, some 100 of the 958 dividend-paying stocks on the Big Board...
...pigeon's brain, it went on billing and cooing and laying eggs just the same. Phrenology offered an easy clue to the enigma of human life. In the U.S., furthermore, phrenology took on a democratic tinge. Everyone had a head, and everyone with the aid of a little chart could understand what was going on in it. It was optimistic-the "good" organs, by exercise, would increase in size. Two men with heads as massive as Beethoven's took the whole thing over. They were Lorenzo N. ("salesman extraordinary") and Orson S. ("impresario and high priest") Fowler...
