...David Austin '56 has a nicely angled pencil drawing a Trawler at sea. His other boat drawings are more prosaic though he has an obvious appreciation for good boat design...
Daniel hopes to woo the same conservative voters who sent Allan Shivers to Austin for three terms. Five men, so far, are opposing him; the stiffest competition will come from Ralph Yarborough, choice of the liberal Democrats. Yarborough, an Austin attorney, has lost twice to Shivers (in 1954 by only 92,000 votes), but is still a potent campaigner...
...Else Is It Done?" Until last year few people outside Mississippi were really conscious of Jim Eastland's existence. In the Magnolia State itself, however, Eastland was born a power to be reckoned with.

In one variation he happily gave the theme to the piano with an effective plucked accompaniment in the 'cello. In places, however, Beveridge's piano writing (like Rzewski's) suffocated the stringed instrument in the lower portion of its range...
