...Meat. Most substantial chunk in the speech for U.S. citizens to chew on was Ambassador Gromyko's "belief" that the Soviet Union expects to cooperate with the U.S. after the war : "The present joint struggle against our common foe-Hitlerite Germany and her allies in Europe-will bring about closer collaboration of our countries in the postwar period, in the interests of general peace." Discreetly tucked away behind the garnishing was a small tough bite. The Soviet still knows when the war really started and who stopped Hitler: "During the entire two years of this stubborn struggle . . . the heaviest...

Up-&-coming Chevrolet-and the modernizing influence of his late son Edsel-forced him to junk Model T in 1927. By then he had lost a big chunk of the cheap-car market. He has never regained it.

Unless a way can be found out of this dilemma, the U.S. will find itself with a pool of idle merchant ships far beyond the modest 5,000,000 tons set out by A.M.M.I...
State Made of Citizens. A world government, to be strong in its own right, would have to be the master of its members. It would have to be granted by the separate nations a sizable chunk of their sovereignty. It would have to be able to deal directly with people-to tax them, jail them, regulate them, protect them. It would have to be a federation, a genuine union...
