...official record, since the Corrupt Practices Act of 1925 stipulates that a Senator can spend only $25,000 on his campaign, a Representative $5,000. A candidate gets around this simply by setting up innumerable committees that collect and spend funds for his campaign without his "knowledge or consent." Thus Massachusetts' Senator Ted Kennedy, like many another Congress member, could and did file a report declaring that his 1962 campaign expenses were zero-though his supporters spent an estimated $2,000,000. Not that a campaign contribution necessarily means undue influence. Lobbyist Julius Klein obtained such a hold...
...Masters' substantive criticism of our action was that the group voting was unrepresentative of the senior common room as a whole. But seldom are more than twenty of the sixty or so members present, so that most action taken involves the consent of no more than a third of the members. And in this particular case notice was sent to every member of the common room before-hand informing him that resolutions regarding the draft would be proposed at the next meeting.

...Trust. New York's Senator Robert F. Kennedy, on the other hand, thought he discerned any number of alternatives.

Further, any settlement should...

The album so far includes Carroll Baker, Arlene Dahl, Ursula Andress, Kim Novak, Susan Strasberg, Elsa Martinelli and Susannah York. Nor is there any trouble getting unknown girls to pose; hundreds apply. Sometimes, though, there is a problem in making the copy that goes with them interesting enough. For instance, the latest Miss January, Playboy said, would love to be a nurse. She was "Albert Schweitzer's fairest disciple. She has read each...
...magazine also finds potential Playmates through a network of freelance photographers. A particularly rewarding field is wedding parties; a photographer covering the reception will often spot a comely bridesmaid. If under 21, she must get her parents' written consent. Photographing her is another matter. Getting a nonprofessional model, who has never before posed, in the right mood can take a photographer one whole day, or several. And all the while the photographer must keep in mind Art Director Paul's concept of the Playboy nude. "The idea," he says, "is to think clean...
