Worries Ahead. Still, little by little, the Vice President was shedding his cloak of amiable ambivalence. After more prodding by McCarthy, he released delegates bound to him by the unit rule, which in some states binds all delegates to one candidate. He then challenged his adversary to release McCarthy delegates in Oregon and Massachusetts, proving, when McCarthy backed away, that the issue went both ways and had been exaggerated from the beginning. Belatedly, McCarthy admitted that Humphrey's gesture would bring only about eight delegates to his side. When Lieut. General Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service, undiplomatically...
...whisky he was served "interesting but not very good." Er, and politics? "I am a great admirer of Fidel Castro," said Greene, after which Miss Ocampo allowed as how she was "an admirer of Gandhi and Nehru but had not been converted." Last seen, Greene was boarding a riverboat bound for Asuncion, Paraguay, for final research on his book, Travels with My Aunt...
After the encyclical was published, most of the enthusiasm for it came from Roman Catholic bishops, who are bound by special ties of loyalty to the Pope.

It will almost certainly cause confusion and dissension in the church, particularly among the young and among the now disillusioned liberals, both laymen and clerics. Most important of all, it will inevitably increase doubts among many Catholics about their church's ability to keep abreast...
Even the most tradition-bound companies are now loosening up on what their employees wear. Detroit's decorous J. L. Hudson Co. department store has begun allowing salesmen to wear sport coats instead of suits. Xerox insists on tonsorial tidiness, but it has permitted one of its California service technicians to affect a handlebar mustache because "it looks quite sophisticated on him." At Jersey Standard, well-cultivated sideburns are sprouting at the middle-management level. IBM, long a bastion of conservatism, has relaxed its unwritten requirement that men wear white shirts only, even though it is far from ready...
