...Flypaper Grip. Kefauver's coonskin cap caught Tennessee's imagination, and he handily won both the Democratic nomination and the general election. But infinitely more important to his long-term ambitions was the advice given him early in that senatorial campaign by Nashville Tennessean Publisher Silliman Evans Jr. and Campaign Manager Charles Neese. They told him that if he could shake at least 500 hands a day until election time he could beat the Crump machine. He did-and won-and it has since been a slugabed campaign day that has not seen him pump at least...
Alphonse & Gaston. In Chicago, waiting at the airport for Stevenson, Estes reached for the sky (while photographers clicked madly away) to save himself from the cap pistol of a 3½-year-old Roy Rogers. When Stevenson and Kefauver started to board their chartered plane in Chicago, their aides looked for a routine that had already become familiar. At the foot of the ramp (or when getting into a car or starting through a doorway), Estes places his big hand between Stevenson's shoulder blades, pushes gently and says, "After you, Adduhlay."

Count Foucou de Gines proved to be one Regis Combier, a 27-year-old sewing-machine salesman and sometime arms smuggler, and the "countess" was his wife. The secretary was a 36-year-old ex-convict named Edouard Rimbaud...
Last week, with his "I Like Ike" model in the national eye (more than 125,000 have been sold), Ingram knew that he had at least one political party under his cap in 1956. This, combined with his newest creation, a visored French Foreign Legion type, scheduled to make its debut at fall football games, prompts Ingram to predict that his sideline will sell 50 million caps, gross...
