Feather is also moving to trim the power of the miners, steelworkers and other old-industry unions. He wants to cut strikes and industrial unrest by 40% over the next year, but the government, businessmen and the public appear doubtful that he can succeed. If Feather fails, Wilson could be hurt. The latest Gallup polls show that only 25% of the electorate think that the Labor Party can halt the stoppages; 31% think that the Conservatives would do a better...
...inevitable that most freshmen will worry about academic competition, but they soon learn the truth. "It's almost impossible to flunk out of Harvard." many freshman proctors declare each year. One half of one per cent succeeds in doing the impossible and leaves, though most return and graduate. "The fierce competition of high school doesn't exist here," said a freshman advisor in a private conversation recently. One freshman put it another way.

Dong once told a French...
Broken Bridges. After Munitions Minister Fritz Todt was killed in a plane crash in February 1942, Speer was selected to succeed him. As Minister, he found himself constantly battling colleagues. Almost at war's end, SS Leader Heinrich Himmler was using scarce materials to build a country house for his mistress. Speer's plea for women workers was vetoed by Hitler, at Martin Bormann's suggestion, on the grounds that it would keep them from producing good Aryan offspring. Half a million Ukrainian girls were brought into Germany instead, to become servants in the homes of Nazi...
