...Robert Taft in his 1952 drive for the G.O.P. nomination; the St. Louis Post-Dispatch ("Kennedy offers the brighter hope of being able to evoke the burst of national spirit we shall require"). ¶ LIFE endorsed the Nixon-Lodge ticket. Domestically, LIFE praised Nixon as the one more apt to "maintain and advance the American Free Enterprise system." Weighing the candidates on foreign policy, LIFE found "the difference between the two candidates . . . narrow and the choice not easy." but concluded: "With Nixon and Lodge in charge of U.S. world policy we shall feel both safer and more hopeful." ¶ Another...
...about 14% of all brains studied at autopsy show the internal carotid still feeding three branch arteries on one side of the brain, and in a few cases this is true on both sides. A hemorrhage or, more common, a clot in the internal carotid of such people is apt to do far more damage than in people of normal arterial development, because there is a greater bottleneck for blood supply to essential areas...
They are not the work of crackpots but of reputable men, some of them geniuses.

But more and more churches are apt to be modern, functional and air-conditioned. Washington's First Baptist Church is not the only Southern Baptist church that looks almost like a cathedral...
Some of Novelist Gold's lines are finely foolish-Dan, roaring Omar on the Lake Erie beach, is "a Demosthenes with pebbles under the tongues of his shoes." One or two images are apt to stir the soul-Dan and a buddy, sneaking out of a second-story window, "vlooped down the drainpipe like two messages in a department-store tube." Dan lusts after Rosalie Fallen, rubs faces with Pattie Donahue, very nearly vloops with Eva Masters, does so gladly (and improbably) with a commercial lady named Black Lil. And marries, in the happy epilogue, beautiful Lucille Lake, girl...
