...alone in the Senate had voted against the relatively mild labor-reform bill sponsored by Massachusetts Democrat John Kennedy, was tickled pink when Ike confided: "If I'd been in the Senate, I'd have voted with you." Last month, when labor-reform legislation was at bitter issue in the House, Ike went on radio and television to urge a strong bill. He immensely enjoyed going over the drafts of his speech, and he took special pleasure in trying to outfox the Democratic opposition: he deliberately inserted a statement that, since he was barred from seeking reelection...

To hit, the Giants have the bull-necked Cepeda and the wondrous McCovey. Out in centerfield, Willie Mays, 28, is beginning to make the awesome plays in Seals Stadium that he used...
...Bishop Frode Beyer and his wife as house guests, and many a Catholic family followed the cardinal's example. All over the city, for the Kirchentag's five days, Catholics and Protestants explored areas of common religious interest in a tone that was far different from the bitter polemics of past centuries. Germany's top Protestant leaders were on hand, including Bishops Otto Dibelius of Berlin and Hanns Lilje of Hannover.
