In Illinois, Bill Stratton, another dark horse, had accomplished things that Adlai Stevenson had failed to get done (TIME, July 13). And in Massachusetts, Christian Archibald Herter, 58, a lean, blond giant (6 ft. 4½ in.) with the searching eyes of an intellectual, the manners of a patrician and the pithy record of a politician, was causing a stir that rippled far beyond the shores of Massachusetts Bay.

...clumped across the terrazzo-floored lobby, and was checked in as "Patient 00-00-01." On the twelfth floor, the farmer found himself in an air-conditioned, semiprivate room (as are all the center's 250 rooms), done in robin's-egg blue, with figured draperies and blond modern furniture.
