...both were gone, the state's interests would have only lightweight representation by two freshman senators. Though Talmadge has not used his decade in Washington to advance his influence notably or to author any major legislation, he has had time to husband seniority. Only 52, he can well afford to wait his turn to chair the Agriculture Committee, where he is the fourth-ranking Democrat. By week's end, while still publicly playing the Hamlet role-to run or not to run-he was understood to have decided that Georgians after all desire him to stay...
...have been disappointed as well by Kosygin's response to the Egyptian food problem. Kosygin counseled Nasser not to risk a stoppage of the U.S. Food for Peace program-Washington is still sitting tight on this year's $150 million worth of grain-because Russia simply cannot afford to pick up the grocery bill.

...small-town fellow with uncomplicated tastes, Roche was born in Elgin, Ill., the son of a funeral director. His father died when he was twelve, and Roche went to work in a notions store after school and on Saturday. Unable to afford college, he took correspondence courses in accounting and economics-a practice he does not recommend for today's budding executives -and got a job with the Chicago branch of Cadillac. Soon his name was entered in G.M.'s "black book"-a loose-leaf binder with profiles of the 700 or so brightest comers in the company...
