...Moscow, Bohlen now and then felt it was his expert's prerogative to differ sharply with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who once complained that there were two State Departments-his own and Bohlen's. As soon as Bohlen's standard four-year tour was up in 1957, Dulles took him out of Moscow and sent him to Manila. After Dulles' death, top State Department careermen urged Secretary of State Christian A. Herter to bring Chip Bohlen back into his special field of U.S.-Soviet relations. This week the State Department announced that Expert Bohlen...
Fact was that such favorite Labor Party targets as the bloody consequences of Tory colonial policy in Kenya and Cyprus seemed unlikely to cut much ice. The real issue in the election is the rising standard of living and its continuance. On that score, wavy-haired Hugh Gaitskell, Oxford-trained economist who was Chancellar of the Exchequer in Labor's last government, was in the awkward position of arguing: "We can do it better."

...engine Corvair. Compared with Ford's Falcon, the Corvair is shorter (wheelbase: 108 in. v. Falcon's 109½ in.), lower (4 ft. 3 in. v. 4 ft. 6½ in.) narrower (66.9 in. v. 70 in.), less powerful (80 h.p. v. 90 h.p.).

Factory list prices begin at $1,860 for the four-door model...
Cole hopes to sell at least 300,000 Corvair '60s, plus 1,500,000 standard Chevies. If he does, he will beat 1955's alltime Chevy sales record of 1,720,000. He also expects the U.S. market to be big enough next year for all comers, big and small, to prosper. "Car sales for 1960," says Cole, "should be at least 6,900,000, including imports...
...hundreds, and each analysis by a local minister will hold true for only a certain number of his congregants. Still, in some way Harvard men are more uniform than they pretend to be, and in their very refusal to be catalogued one finds a conformism to a Nietzschean standard of merciless analysis and criticism. Nevertheless, we shall attempt to analyze the Harvard religious scene on the basis of these questionnaires, of discussions with local ministers, and of individual observation...
