Meanwhile, in the U.S., the Democratic Administration and G.O.P.-run Congress began hammering out enabling legislation in a bi partisan mood fostered mainly by Re publican Senator Arthur Vandenburg. Congress doubtless saw the plan in terms of cold war designs, and its passage was helped substantially by Stalin's hostility to it. President Harry Truman himself considered the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan "two halves of the same walnut." He signed the law on April 3, 1948. Two weeks after that the freighter John H.

Payments by employers into the system would rise by $7 billion to $8 billion a year. These increases would doubtless be passed along by employers in the form of higher prices or reduced wages...
...gives Warbucks an unparched humanity. Without Alpo to lure him on, Sandy proves an artful trouper even if he doesn't say "Arf." Since Annie is the sort of wholesome family fare audiences are always supposed to be arfing for, Broadway's latest tryst with nostalgia will doubtless turn the till at the Alvin Theater into a reasonable facsimile of the U.S. Mint.
