...double senatorial extravaganza is the result of the death this summer of Brian McMahon, Fair-Dealing senator from Norwalk. Running for the four-year term left by the death of McMahon are Democrat A. A. Ribicoff and Republican Prescott Bush. The regular six-year term is being contested by the incumbent Senator William Benton, a Democrat, and William Purtell, Republican. Also after the six-year seat are two splinter-party candidates who, in traditionally close Connecticut contests, may gain enough votes to decide the elections--far right Vivian Kellems and so called Socialist Jasper McLevy...
...Pres Bush is fighting an uphill battle against Ribicoff. A Yale graduate and a partner in Brown Brothers Harriman investment firm, he is the darling of Connecticut's large bloc of wealthy, tweedy, Republican voters who abound in Fairfield Country.

MacDonald '50, of Cambridge; Paul C. Mangelsdorf, Jr. of Cambridge; George C. Soulis of Athens, Greece; and William H. Telfer of Portland, Oregon...
...hope was lucky. A small girl of about five, in blue linen trousers with cross-over braces behind and a bib in front, had just come to inspect the laurel bushes. She squatted down and peered into them, probably in search of a hidy-hole. Her expression was, however, disinterested, even bored. She seemed to be performing a duty rather than a pleasure. Now, hearing the cry of "naughty," she started up, looked round the corner of the bush and saw the baby. At once she started forward and, repeating "Naughty! naughty! naughty!" all the way in exactly the nurse...
