...Angelina. "The journey of seeing the same people coming back week on week-you have a relationship with them," says creator Simon Fuller. "You don't know what's going to happen. Sanjaya walks out with his crazy hairdo. It's a living soap opera." Season 6 contestant Chris Sligh called the job of getting the audience to identify with you "mak[ing] David Hasselhoff cry," referring to the Baywatch star tearing up when Hicks won last year's crown. Which brings us to point...
...Argument. The next speaker, N.A.M. Board Chairman Charles R. Sligh Jr., minced no words about "What Industry Expects from Organized Labor." As Meany sat stoically, Sligh laced into unions for "irresponsible strikes," and "lawless incidents that bring disgrace and shame to every sincere American." Asked Sligh : "Is it the primary purpose of this organization [A.F.L.-C.I.O.] to seize political control of the country?"

Though N.A.M. directors take no official stand on tariff reductions, Monsanto objected to a recent speech in which President Charles R. Sligh Jr. said: "The U.S. should work at a long-term tariff policy that will encourage the foreign producer to ... compete intelligently in our markets over here." Said Monsanto Vice President Francis J. Curtis: "A complete removal of tariffs . . . would cripple Monsanto," since the company would be unable to compete with...
Their opposition is based on two arguments. First they say that controls in general are useless, and deny the need for them even in wartime. N.A.M. chief Charles R. Sligh gave the Senate Banking and Currency Committee to believe that corporation taxes and like measures would keep a grip on the inflation spiral. Senator Capchart, no friend of government control, answered by saying that Congress would surely pass controls on "wages, prices, and rents in event of an all-out shooting war." And they are obviousy needed then. The Federal Reserve Board, which under normal conditions sways price trends...
