...wanted within three years by naming Liberal Democrats Hugo Black, Reed, Felix Frankfurter and William O. Douglas to succeed Justices Van Devanter, Sutherland, Cardozo and Brandeis-key figures on the court that New Dealers scornfully called "The Nine Old Men." Since 1953 Ike has named three-Republicans Chief Justice Earl Warren and John Marshall Harlan, Democrat William J. Brennan Jr. Of the F.D.R. holdovers, Justice Black is now 70, Justice Frankfurter 74. Only hard clues as to whom Ike might choose to replace Reed: 1) Ike prefers to appoint lawyers with experience on the bench rather than deserving politicians...
...noble lord among them. But one day last week a black Ford pulled up to the door, and out jumped a chubby-cheeked new boy of eight. For England, this was big news indeed: His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, and Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland, was going to elementary school-the first heir apparent to the throne to do so in the history of the kingdom...
...this admiring book Author Charles Beatty, nephew of Admiral Earl Beatty, Britain's World War I naval hero, writes a passionate defense of all the acts of Ferdinand de Lesseps' life.

The court, in the unanimous opinion written by Justice Warren, held that unions can strike to back up demands made under reopener clauses in long-term con tracts even though the contract has not expired-provided that they give the 60-day notice required by Taft-Hartley...
Died. Alexander Augustus Frederick William Alfred George ("Algie") Cambridge, Earl of Athlone and Viscount Trematon, 82, onetime governor-general of South Africa (1923-30) and Canada (1940-46), last surviving brother of the late Queen Mary and great-uncle of Queen Elizabeth II; in Kensington Palace, London. An erect, mustached ex-cavalryman (India, the Boer War, World War I) who looked and acted like the prototype of Britain's foxhunting, elephant-shooting old regimentals, the Earl of Athlone served as aide-de-camp to King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, officiated at countless...
