...most expert and relentless pursuit of the Democratic presidential nomination, a campaign so finely machined, so thoroughly organized, so carefully fashioned for a single purpose that professional politicians fairly mopped their brows and goggled at what they saw. Said Illinois' old political pro Jake Arvey (who could scarcely cling any longer to Adlai Stevenson's star) : "Kennedy's got this country laid out like one big switchboard. He knows what's going on in every state, in every local issue. He's tough and decisive and determined. I marvel at his organizational ability. Openmouthed wonderment...
...Cling to Hope." For all his troubles, Mantle is still highly respected; wary American League pitchers walk him more than once a game on the average.

...psychiatry is as rife with conflict as are the minds of its patients. One big problem, points out IBM Medical Director Dr. John Duffy, is that "there is no statistical yardstick" to measure the results of mental health programs, "since we aren't buying merchandise." Some businessmen still cling to the old idea that the worker's personal problems are his own business. But, as Dr. John Maclver, fulltime psychiatrist for America Fore Loyalty Group, says, "We have already established in fact that a psychiatric program in industry is not only feasible but high priority...
