Weary of trying to plumb the future with mere logic and female intuition, Washington Political Gossipist Ruth Montgomery pilgrimaged to the crystal ball of an uncanny lady named Jeane Dixon, an amateur seeress-astrologist whose predictions have often become next year's headlines.*What Jeane told Ruth: Ike will be re-elected next year, and "he will run the Government like you would run a big business," delegating many duties to ease the strain on his heart. His "Assistant President" will be Thomas E. Dewey. Adlai Stevenson's timing is all wrong; he is a political dead duck...
Writing in American Astrology (which has called Adlai Stevenson the "Man of Destiny"), Astrologist Rupert Gleadow last week revealed how the stars stand. It is easy as pie to tell who will win, said Gleadow, but tough to write about it, because he doesn't want to discourage anybody. His news: at the time of the election, "General Eisenhower suffers the transit of Neptune and Saturn over his Sun," and that is really bad.

Washington Peace. For President, Mrs. Ellen Linea W.

Manhattan's Daily News marveled at the "almost uncanny accuracy" with which the News's Astrologist Marion Drew, as long ago as December, had prophesied that "MacArthur would encounter strong criticism in March and April." But after all the dailies had had first crack at the story, the weekly Seaford (Del.) Leader-News topped them all with the message...
...press going to profit by its lesson? Already, here & there., the process of rationalizing the error had begun. And the soreheads were getting in their licks. Wrote the New York Daily News's John O'Donnell (who had first asked to have the paper's lady astrologist assigned to the Washington bureau) : "O.K., they were all wrong (most definitely, including this writer) on the Truman election. So what? So were the voters who elected Truman." Sneered George Sokolsky: "Truman gave out during the campaign, becoming boisterous and vulgar. Some say that he made votes for himself that...
