...flesh out his committee, Ziffren suggested Adlai Stevenson, Estes Kefauver, Harry Truman, New York Governor Averell Harriman, Eleanor Roosevelt and Michigan's Governor G. Mennen Williams. Another nominee: Lyndon Johnson, who already is fending off a clamor for a change in the Senate rules to forestall filibustering (TIME, Dec. 3). Parrying Ziffren's invitation, Johnson tentatively agreed to serve, postponed final decision until he caucused with House Speaker and Fellow Texan Sam Rayburn to assay Ziffren's strength...
Where the seers went wrong was in reasoning that the customer would clamor for color as soon as prices came down (1955 minimum for color sets: $700) and weekly color programming went up (from less than two hours a week last fall). Now both barriers have fallen. RCA. Admiral, Sears, Roebuck and Montgomery Ward have been advertising color sets for $500 or less since early last summer. G.E. will bring out its first under-$500 color set this month. NBC is scheduling at least one color show a night, plans to telecast 120 hours of color during the last three...

But the clamor was far from stilled. In the years that followed, while Seretse studied law and sired two children...
...some success the "British excuse"-the argument that the U.S. could not engage in all-out war with Red China without alienating, perhaps even losing, Britain and other allies. Now Eden can answer charges that his threats were empty blasts by offering Parliament the "American excuse." To counter any clamor at Britain's humiliation by Egypt, Eden might well bare his breast to the foe, move to the brink of war, and then, upon anguished outcries from the U.S., refrain from fighting in order to save the Anglo-American alliance...
