...remedy, he suggests lengthening the Governor's term to four years from the present two. Peabody's plan would give the governor power to appoint all level state officials--except the general--who are now elected, let the governor appoint his heads upon taking office, forcing him to work through the of his predecessors until their expire...
Pragmatic Approach. Whittaker's resignation brought on a temporary spate of guesses about his successor. Every conceivable possibility, and even some impossibilities such as Tennessee's Senator Estes Kefauver, got mentioned in one list or another. Many guessers supposed that Kennedy would succumb to political temptation and appoint a Negro-among those mentioned were Third Circuit Court of Appeals Judge William Hastie, Housing Administrator Robert Weaver, and Second Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Thurgood Marshall...

Admittedly he is not easy to find; very likely he must be lifted from a program elsewhere. But the University found Sir Hamilton Gibb for Middle Eastern Studies, offering no more than an excellent salary and the promise of a growing center to come. Latin America, so curiously neglected for many decades, deserves as much...
