Happier Today. Only once in his tour did Ike find himself facing an unenthusiastic crowd. In the Los Angeles suburb of Burbank, the Columbine landed at the airport adjoining the Lockheed plant where the Presidential Super Constellation had been built. Ike found the crowd of 25,000 sullenly impassive to his greeting. Lockheed's management had stopped work for the President's visit; the International Association of Machinists, representing the workers, had objected to the order as "pure politics," called it "a flat donation in excess of $25,000" to the Republican Party. But elsewhere, the waving, shouting...
Meanwhile, back in the hustings, Kuchel's opponent, New-Dealing State Senator Richard Richards, was vigorously slashing away. A tireless, fast-talking campaigner who looks like Hollywood's idea of a fast-rising young politician, the 39-year-old Richards has built up his popularity by handshaking his way eight times from the Mexican border to Oregon.

...last year, however, ABC's TV billings alone had climbed to $51,393,434, and it was operating in the black (in the first nine months this year, American Broadcasting-Paramount Theatres' earnings were up to $6,616,000 from $5,286,000 last year). Kintner also built up his programming with top TV shows (Omnibus, Lawrence Welk, Disneyland, Bishop Sheen), expanded ABC's network (now up to 215 affiliated TV stations). But he failed to match the other networks' vast increase in total radio-TV billings; from 1949 to 1955 ABC's billings rose...
