...long after any realistic hope of winning the nomination in 1960 had faded away, Rockefeller leaped onstage again with a 2,700-word statement accusing Nixon of failing to speak out on national issues. The nation and the party, said Rockefeller, cannot march "to meet the future with a banner aloft whose only emblem is a question mark." Many a cynic inferred that Rockefeller, eying the 1964 presidential nomination, wanted Nixon to lose in 1960. and was deliberately trying to undercut him. But Nixon took a soft-answer tone, defended Rockefeller's right to voice his disagreements with...
...conservatively Republican voice of conservatively Republican Hawaii. In a city that rises early and does not get around to the news until the sun slides over the Waianae Range, it has a comfortable, growing circulation lead over the morning Advertiser-103,180 to 59,679. The Advertiser's banner red headlines and high feature count are not likely to pull it abreast of the paper that carries 50% more columns of news each day, keeps 69 men in the newsroom (to the Advertiser's 39), has a larger correspondent network, with staffers in all the outer Hawaiian islands...
...Harry, by Sahl's account, made the usual claim that he would rather have that medal than be President, and "all the guys agreed, except this thin lieutenant from Massachusetts." Casting a miscellaneous eye, Sahl thought it not unlikely that, after the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner, Lenny Bernstein would come on-camera to explain it.

Deadline for Treason. Teeth flashing, head characteristically bobbing, muttering "Onward! Onward!" between jokes, Sahl always managed to seem...
Mind the Citizens. Outside the hall, happy Congolese shouting " 'dependance!" swirled through the banner-filled streets as the radio blared cha-cha tunes especially composed for the occasion. To the surprise of many whites who expected pillaging and insults from the newly independent blacks, there was universal interracial politeness, even open camaraderie -with a few humorous exceptions: one white motorist driving along a main road was suddenly confronted by a earful of Congolese who skidded through an intersection shouting hilariously "Mind the citizens!" The only serious growls came from across the river in the French Congo, where Premier Abbe...
...Cocked Hat (Boulting Bros.; Show Corp. of America) launches a satirical spitball at the British Foreign Office, which not long ago returned the compliment by scotching plans to enter the movie in the recent Moscow Film Festival. Encouraged to know that the Banner of Blimpism (a blue funk on a field of choler) still flies, Britons by the thousands crowded in to see the spoof, and doubtless the film's American distributors would welcome a similar seal of disapproval from the U.S. State Department. At any rat Producers John and Roy Boulting, wh subverted the army in Private...
