...Presidential Candidate Adlai Stevenson, whose Christmas card bore the prayer, got it from a book called Think on These Things by the Rev. Dr. John Ellis Large (rector of Manhattan's Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest), who, in turn, had clipped and saved the original from a newspaper some 25 years ago when he was a student at Hartford's Trinity College...
...last week were hitting the campaign trail. Chicago Correspondent Edwin Darby was in Ohio, finishing his report for this week's cover story on Governor Frank Lausche. At the same time, San Francisco Correspondent Charles Mohr ended a strenuous ten days of zigzagging about northern California, covering Candidates Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver. Exhausted but exhilarated, Charlie Mohr reported: "I'd rather be covering politics in California than in any other state. Where is there such an embarrassment of riches in presidential possibilities?

Most of the current interest seems directed toward Adlai Stevenson. The Students for Stevenson Club already has 328 members, a figure far ahead of the other groups. Eisenhower for President supporters number slightly over 100, while the Kefauver booster club so far has only 25 supporters. Furthermore, if Eisenhower decides not to run for reelection, it is a safe bet that many new clubs will form to back the candidacies of various...
