...Among the committee's backers: three U.S. Senators-Connecticut's Thomas Dodd, Illinois' Paul Douglas and New Hampshire's Styles Bridges, and two members of the House of Representatives-Majority Leader John W. McCormack of Massachusetts and Minnesota's Walter H. Judd. In Boston, Roman Catholic Richard Cardinal Gushing asked people ''to pray in the street, pray any place," during the days that Khrushchev would be in the U.S.*And in Los Angeles, despite a plea by Vice President Nixon that the Soviet leader get a courteous welcome, the national convention...
...team is largely staffed with ancients and has-beens. Regular First Baseman Earl Torgeson, 35, had not done much since 1951, when he drove in 92 runs for the Boston Braves. Third Baseman Billy Goodman, 33, had a brief moment of fame nine years ago, when he won the batting title with the Red Sox. Early Wynn, the team's leading pitcher (18-9), is a creaking 39. In the bullpen are Turk Lown (9-2), a late-bloomer at 35, and Gerry Staley (7-3), 39, who seemed washed up six years ago with the St. Louis Cardinals...

The stench forced his photoengraver father to build him a lean-to lab outside the house. But the boy chemist's talents got him into famed Roxbury Latin School (he was the most precocious science student in 20 years) and through Harvard in three years. He married the daughter of Harvard's top chemist; in 1931 Professor Conant himself took over the department. "Bryant," said...
...even impossible. But passably assured and decorative examples are fairly easy to produce, and juries-under the spell of trend and times-tend to award them their prizes. The jury at Chicago's Art Institute gave Richard Talaber, 26, the top prize for just such a picture. At Boston's elaborate summer Arts Festival, the Grand Prize went to a sculptor, Gilbert Franklin, for his safely modern Beach Figure, clean-lined and anonymous as a newel post. But the public has yet to acquire the jurist's inhibitions. Critics see form first in a work...
