...Government's mandatory freeze; they had no other choice. G.M. loudly damned the order as "discriminatory . . . ill-considered," if not actually illegal. Said G.M.: "We doubt that this arbitrary action complies with the letter or intent of the price and wage stabilization act." If auto prices were frozen, asked the automen, what about the price of raw materials? And what about wage contracts, which in the auto industry are directly tied to the rising cost of living...
Bulldozers for the dead. Assembled in Hagaru, south of the frozen, blood-stained beaches of the Changjin Reservoir, the 1st Marine Division and the 7th had already suffered heavy casualties in battles with the encircling Communists. They had heard the screams of their comrades when the Reds lobbed phosphorous grenades into truckloads of U.S. wounded. When the order came to start south, the enemy was already closing in on Hagaru's makeshift airstrip, whence thousands of wounded and frostbite victims had been flown out.

Most businessmen maintain that the U.S. is even now not in the lead-time period, simply because the orders have not been placed...
...share of weather and upsets. At Columbus, Ohio, in the face of 30-m.p.h. winds and blinding snow, Michigan was unable to manage even one first down, but did manage to skid past Ohio State, 9-3. Illinois, with its bags half packed for a Rose Bowl trip, was frozen out of the journey and the Big Ten title by Northwestern, 14-7. Though once tied and thrice beaten, Michigan, as conference champions, will go to the Rose Bowl. Michigan's opponent: unbeaten California, which had its record only slightly marred by Stanford...
