...Broderick, well aware that his party had not elected a representative to the legislature from Portland since Depression 1934, made no speeches, decided shortly after the campaign began to accept a good job in Los Angeles, packed up and headed West. Last week Broderick got a long-distance telephone call. The gist: come home...
Nixon promptly threw away his prepared speech notes and set to work anew, aware that the telephone call had signaled a turning point in the campaign: Ike is through turning the Republican other cheek to Democratic attacks.

Total vote: Wiley 217,402; Davis 207,693. Wiley had had a close call. Of the 445,625 G.O.P. votes, Wiley's slim margin was only 10,000. A third Republican, Howard H.

At dusk, some 2,000 to 6,000 visitors perch quietly on steel folding chairs on the vast graveled terrace, listening to the piquant yet noble strains of an orchestral prelude, the work of Jacques Ibert, distinguished French composer (Ports of Call) and former manager of the Paris Opéra. "Here intrigues are woven and romance prevails," proclaims a voice which seems to come from the heart of the chateau itself (it is the recorded voice of Charles Boyer, via 28 loudspeakers, speaking a text by André Maurois). "Here all France...
