Estes had been told that Andersen, as ranking G.O.P. member of the Agriculture appropriations subcommittee, would make a "good Republican contact." So Estes paid a visit to Andersen's office, wound up buying $4,000 worth of stock in an Andersen family coal mine. Andersen did not bother to deliver certificates until the Estes scandal broke...
Hands-Off Orders. After this bold foray last week, Havana radio called the attacker a "pirate vessel" manned by "criminals armed and paid by the U.S." Cried Castro himself over his powerful short-wave propaganda station: "We no longer have to bother ourselves proving the aggressive intentions of the Yankee imperialists. It is enough to read the Yankee press itself and the speeches of its Senators. They no longer deny their aggressive intentions. No! They proclaim them to the world publicly."

Most politicians, on advocating such a program, would at least be inclined to temper it with ritual tributes to free enterprise. But Hughes does not bother with that kind of platform piety-or piety of any sort. "I," he announced at his first campaign press conference, "am an agnostic." Murmured a reporter in the audience: "There goes the ball game." In one striking respect, Hughes does resemble his rivals for John Kennedy's old Senate seat, Democrats...
