...VIRGINIA. Senator Harry Byrd behaves so much like a Republican that Virginia's G.O.P. sometimes wonders just where it can turn. Nevertheless, the G.O.P. has been winning seats never before held by Republicans-and two G.O.P. Congressmen elected in 1952 are now well entrenched. Though the Republicans doubled their strength in the Virginia general assembly last year, they are still outnumbered 126 to 14, which indicates the size of the job they face. But islands of strength are being formed in suburban areas, where young families are settling to man new industries, and a lot of doorbell ringing...
...often the case, however, the supporting actors often outshone the stars. Ciji Ware as Appassionata von Climax was her usual totally arresting and overwhelmingly sensuous self. Suzy Dimmitt was quite electrifying as Stupefyin' Jones, making the loss of the Old Howard seem lass tragic. Evil Eye Fleagle Max Byrd threatened to steal the show everytime he appeared just by standing around with his incredibly plastic face; when he talked and threw whammies around even Mammy Yokum, superbly played by Susan Medcalf, was overwhelmed...
Among the senators who have tentativey agreed to meet with the Young Dems are Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), Philip Hart (D Mich.), Lister Hill (D-Ala.), Clinton Anderson (D-N.M.), Frank Church (d-Idaho), and Harry Byrd (D-Va.), Paul Doulas (D-Ill.), Edward M.

Kennedy '48, attorney general--may also see the students...
...more than friendship, though, binds the two men. Thirty years in the company of politicians have instilled in White an ineradicable appreciation of the genus. He likes politicians, and they respond by liking him; such disparate types as Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Byrd, Richard Russell, Richard Nixon and the late Robert A. Taft all warmed to Columnist White. From White's host of friends, Johnson emerges as the man who best typifies all that Bill White says he values in the political craft. "He is a pragmatic man and not a theorist, an actionist and not a philosophic thinker," White...
Throughout the week Barry hit the theme of party unity, warning, "We can't afford the luxury of infighting." He said that he and Rocky were actually closer on the issue of "welfarism" than such Democrats as, say, Wayne Morse and Harry Byrd. But that still left them mighty far apart, and Barry could not resist wisecracking that a race between Rockefeller and Johnson "would be a choice of Tweedledee and Tweedledum...
