...presidency, Kefauver had added himself to the active list of live vice-presidential possibilities (TIME, Aug. 6)-not so much for the headlines he brought Stevenson at a critical time, but for the strength he left behind him in the critical farm states.

Not until the sixth paragraph did the Abendblatt's expert admit that the activity was still too low to do any damage whatever...
Clarinet-playing Bandleader Woody Herman, who has managed to go modern after starting out as a swingster, refuses to admit that the clarinet has lost caste. "Brother, the clarinet still sounds as sweet and ridey as ever," he says. "The big fault lies in the lack of new men. Guys like Goodman, Shaw and myself should lend a hand, but Goodman is too busy sorting his jewelry, Shaw is still having trouble keeping track of his girls, and me, well, I have the problem of trying to keep up with Uncle Whiskers on my tax bill.
