...armed with the flashlight, screw driver and pliers that he always carries with him when flying. Finally he thought he had located the right relay switch. Taking a dime-store binder clip that he uses to hold papers in his documents case, Cotton ripped off one of the clasp's wire handles, stripped an equipment strap for insulation ("My hands were sweating") and inserted the wire with the pliers. "Okay, okay!" he yelled to White, who then pushed the forward-gear button. A pursuit plane radioed that the gear was descending as intended and seemed to be locking into...
...Clasp & Pal. In Wisconsin, the so-called Kennedy candidate is Lieut. Governor Patrick J. Lucey, 48, who as state Democratic chairman was instrumental in Jack Kennedy's victory over Hubert Humphrey in that state's bitter 1960 primary. Lucey, who sports a PT 109 tie clasp, visited the White House often during the New Frontier and in 1963 was recruited by J.F.K.'s brother-in-law Stephen Smith to reorganize Ohio's Democrats.

Into the Waldorf-Astoria marched Andrea, and ran right up to the dais, where she handed the startled Grissom a pair of square Florentine cuff links and a tie clasp, then burst into tears. No emergency procedures for Gus. He just introduced her as "my Number One fan," gave her his chair and sat on the floor while the mayor spoke. "We made it, Gus and I," sighed Andrea, 16. "We both made...
During the services, Sydnor baptized a two-month-old girl, took the baby to the President, who rose, unfastened his gold "L.B.J. '64" tie clasp, attached it to the baby's dress. In his sermon, Sydnor said that "perhaps the greatest single need of our world is reconciliation -reconciliation between husband and wife, labor and management, race and race, nation and nation." Afterward, over coffee in the parish hall, the President told Mrs. Sydnor: "The rector must have written that sermon for me. That's the business I'm in, you know, the business of reconciliation...
