Appointing her mother as her stand-in at the graduation exercises, Sylvia dashed off on a shoestring motor tour of the country with seven young men. One of them was her husband, Reed Porter, a tall, blond budding financier whom Sylvia had met on a subway in her junior year at Hunter. She was 18. "Instead of having an affair," says Sylvia now, "we got married. It was a nice marriage, but it was meaningless." The Porters were amicably divorced...

The son of well-to-do parents and nephew of a crusading editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he was a model boy with golden ringlets, went from law school into a prosperous St. Louis law firm, became a flashy and prosperous trial lawyer with a godlike blond profile that wowed the female jurors...

Slender, handsome, with dark blond curly hair, he was cocky, arrogant, and popular with girls, all sorts of girls.

Though stripped for action, many of Pound...
...House all over the U.S. show a glittering entry of hardy challengers, the outstanding challenger of them all is the Republican candidate for Governor of Michigan, a polio-crippled professor of speech from Michigan State University, Paul Douglas Bagwell, 47. To succeed retiring Soapy Williams, the Democrats have selected blond, boyish John Swainson, 35, Michigan's lieutenant governor, who is the handpicked choice of the U.A.W. The candidates are attractive, the issues are sharp, and Michigan's election shapes up as 1960's hottest state race...
