What all this meant to U.S. business at large was that though manufacturers' new orders have lately dropped, businessmen will have to reorder if the consumer keeps on buying at his present rate. Even the skittish stock market showed some cheer at this prospect. Though the bears on Wall Street had widely prophesied that the skidding market would break through its previous low for the year (reached in March) and continue its drop, they were disappointed. The market went right down to its low, then turned around and rallied. It ended the week at 607.62 on the Dow-Jones...
Back from a nine-week swing through South America came a thinner, tanner, more relaxed Adlai Stevenson last week, and seldom have loyal troops given a more resounding cheer to a general splashing ashore. Enthusiastic correspondents dogged his footsteps. Columnist Marquis Childs hailed him as a "brilliant, complex, resilient individual" torn "between dread and desire." Prestigious Pundit Walter Lippmann urged Candidate Jack Kennedy to solve the problem posed by his Roman Catholicism by accepting second place on a Stevenson-Kennedy ticket. Across the U.S., the scattered but sizable and zealous band of supporters who had given up Stevenson for lost...
...moment of victory was almost anticlimactic. There was no battering-ram cloture vote to beat Southern filibusters into silence (although the Southern minority of 18 included the chairmen of nine powerful Senate committees).

The route to and from Westminster Abbey will be so short-it can be walked in seven minutes-that the waiting crowds will have little opportunity to cheer. Royalty abroad was behaving coolly. Margaret's closest European relative, King Olaf of Norway, sent his regrets and those of his son, Prince Harald, because of a "previous obligation." The obligation: the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian Society of Sciences in Trondheim. Other pleas of "prior engagements" were arriving...
...those who believe that Africa's big game is being driven to extinction by native poachers and trophy-happy white hunters, New York Zoological Society President Fairfield Osborn had words of cautious cheer last week. Just back with his wife Marjorie from a wildlife-conservation survey of British East Africa, Big Gamester Osborn, who hunts strictly with a camera, reported: "While poaching continues to be a very serious problem, there is a growing awareness among African leaders that big game is a prime tourist attraction and must be saved." His prediction : the U.N. will soon be establishing game sanctuaries...
