...explorations so far, no one has yet agreed on machinery. Many are reluctant to funnel Western aid through the U.N. itself. NATO Secretary-General Paul-Henri Spaak suggests that NATO be used for the purpose, but this too meets with opposition-in the minds of touchy beneficiaries, it prompts suspicions of cold-war tactics. In Paris last week, in the wake of Dillon's visit, there were suggestions that an "Atlantic Community Economic Conference" should be convened in the near future...
Behind Landry's complex system of blitzing linebackers and slanting linemen is a single master principle: funnel the play to the inside so that Sam Huff can make the tackle. Says the Los Angeles Rams' Line Coach Don Paul: "We hold a special meeting to plan how we're going to get Sam Huff." Huff has perfected the linebacker's risky technique of guessing where the play is going and meeting the runner head-on in the hole. From hours of study, he knows what plays may be run from any formation. To discover which...

The fugitives-and the audience-can do nothing but watch the animal in paralyzed silence...
Actually, the Antitrust drive to stop fixing prices and allocating territories in the garment industry began a long time ago. In the Truman Administration the Antitrust Division indicted the Women's Sportswear Manufacturers Association for a conspiracy to fix prices and funnel orders to Association members designated by the union as in good standing. But at that time it was not the division policy to name I.L.G.W.U. as a defendant in the suit, only the employer group. Says Bicks: "We waited years for the unions to clean up this kind of situation. They did not. So we finally indicted...
