...implacable political foe, has a more dramatic vision than the Chancellor. Schumacher better understands Communist aims and tactics. His Utopian goal is a "big Europe," a continent free from the Atlantic to the Soviet border; he considers the "little Europe" envisaged by projects like the Schuman Plan a trap on the road to his larger objective. This all-or-nothing attitude makes the Socialist boss a hard man for the West's statesmen to deal with. It also cuts down Schumacher's popularity in western Germany...

Nelson caught up with the other fellow so fast that by 1928 he was boss of drilling at Texas Gulf's old Texas fields, later managed production of the vast new Boling Dome deposit on the Gulf Coast.

There would be no guarantee that peace would ever be achieved or that the Chinese would not resume the fighting when it suited them...
...surrendered or been captured in the hills of Luzon, set sail with their families for sparsely populated Mindanao, where they would farm their own land. At first, the Huks who had volunteered for Magsaysay's resettlement program were doubtful. Some half suspected they were walking into a trap. Six days later their doubts vanished when government trucks carried them into a vast resettlement farm at Kapatagan, and they found rows of neat, new houses and 16,000 acres of fertile land waiting for them. Said one of the settlers: "I guess Magsaysay was not kidding us after...
