...experience to make points. "One of America's leading dermatologists simplified my life and slashed my personal budget a few months ago," she confided in a column last September. In the chatty paragraph that followed, Sylvia admitted a feminine partiality for expensive face creams ("I won't confess to myself, much less to you, what I was spending"), but said she had given them up when a skin specialist assured her that nothing, but nothing, beats common soap.

After huddling with Nixon, Minority Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen proposed a bill to restore what Ike's message had called the "two major deletions" in the civil rights bill that Congress passed last April: extra federal money for states, localities and school districts working toward desegregation, and a permanent commission to combat discrimination in hiring by Government contractors. When Democrats accusingly pointed out that Dirksen had voted against both proposals last spring, he oracularly confided: "I freely confess my sins of omission and commission...
