...accused Kefauver of befriending left-wing Northerners, supporting the Supreme Court segregation decision, and, worst of all, being an "internationalist." Unlike his 1948 coonskin-cap barnstorm ing, Kefauver's campaign was dignified; he soft-pedaled his internationalist and gang-busting lines, stressing what he had done for Tennessee. By campaign's end there was evidence that Pat Sutton had talked too much. During one talkathon, he had labeled a friend of Kefauver as a "known Communist." Later he apologized, but that did not stop Kefauver's friend from hitting him with a $1,500,000 slander suit...
...pyromaniac. I asked him why he set fires. He said it gave him a good feeling and that he felt peaceful. He had once been a member of a volunteer Los Angeles Fire Department before getting into trouble, and he came to the show wearing a fireman's cap." Says Coates: "It's amazing how people consent to appear on our show. I can't believe it's anything but exhibitionism in most cases. We don't pay them anything.

...leftfield roof for a homer. His batting average started to climb. In the field he could do no wrong, did much that was phenomenal. He had an unconscious knack for doing the spectacular, an uncanny instinct for anticipating batters and baserunners.

...Troy, N.Y., members of Russell Sage College's Class of '49 made amends to the world's spryest primitive painter, Grandma Moses, 93. Grandma had got an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the girls' school in 1949. Her cap and gown were lent to her for the occasion, and recently Grandma complained in TIME (Dec. 28): "They didn't let me keep the cap." After reading TIME'S story, the Sage girls got busy and arranged for Grandma to come to their fifth reunion, where she was pictured admiring her appearance topped...
...Annapolis, Md., 852 U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen (out of an original class of 1,123) got their diplomas in the traditional cap-tossing ceremonies in Dahlgren Hall. Not all were headed for the Navy; the Air Force took 221 as second lieutenants, the Marine Corps commissioned 63. Eight graduating middies got their degrees but no commissions. One man was dismissed for marrying against Academy regulations; four others were honorably discharged for medical reasons. Saddest of the eight were three midshipmen who will get no commissions until they are cleared by a tardy security investigation. Refusing to elaborate, a Navy spokesman...
