...Minnesota, Kansas and New Jersey. "I checked the figures myself," said Soapy. "I couldn't see how Harriman could win." Late Tuesday night, Williams called his 44-vote delegation into a chokingly smoke-filled caucus room. The delegation's sentiment was plain. The decision: Michigan voted to cast a big majority for Stevenson...
...voting began. Illinois−whose Democratic leaders still blame the Kefauver committee investigations for the disastrous defeat of some machine candidates in 1950−went mostly to Kennedy. Missouri cast its lot with Hubert Humphrey. New York went to Mayor Wagner. Tennessee, where Estes is involved in a furious factional fight with Governor Frank Clement, voted for its other SenatorAlbert Gore.* But the first-ballot count stood: Kefauver 483½, Kennedy 304, Gore 178, Wagner 162½, Humphrey...

Daly, made a virtue out of his chain's relative poverty (less gadgetry, smaller staff) by sticking with the action on the platform while the other webs cast about for sideshow pickups.

Among the cast Kent Smith stands out as the Earl of Warwick, capturing perfectly that character's businesslike, practical, self-assured--in a word, English--qualities. Michael Wagner as the Dauphin stammered over his "B's" with considerable skill (and historical accuracy) and gave a good impression of weak mindedness. Frederic Tozere contributed a nice stolid manner and sermon-practiced voice as the Archbishop of Rheims. Earle Hyman as the good-natured general Dunois was methodical and colorless at first but picked up personality as he went along; and Ian Keith, Earl Montgomery, and Thayer David portrayed well three different...
