Between delegations on Monday, Nixon managed to find time for a luncheon trip to Fisherman's Wharf with newsmen and Dan Gainey, Minnesota jewelry manufacturer who backed Harold Stassen in 1948 and 1952 but has grown increasingly cool toward Childe Harold. No sooner had Nixon left his car for the block-long walk to the Exposition Grotto than a crowd began to gather. Nixon showed all the pump-handle efficiency of an Estes Kefauver in shaking hands with cab drivers, tourists, shopkeepers, cops, and everyone else he could reach...
Record companies are today practically forced into the arms of the modernists. They have exhausted the "standard" repertory of late 18th century and 19th century music and even the cool counterpoint of the preclassical masters. Some of the moderns prove to be profitable indeed.

Then I bought a Carrier Room Air Conditioner. I'm still a 99-lb. weakling but, boy, is my bedroom nice and cool!" In Atlanta a cartoon colonel declares: "I'd even go North for Southern Bread...
...nominate a President, Stevenson was so far ahead that nothing could beat him. Thirteen delegations had intoned their votes before Harriman passed the 10 mark. Harriman's campaign adviser, Tammany Boss Carmine De Sapio, had known for a long while what was coming; he sat calm and cool among his red-faced, sweating New York delegation. After it was all over, he murmured wistfully: "If we had only had more time." On his way out he stepped over to Harry Truman's box. "Hi, boss," said Carmine De Sapio. "I'll see you tomorrow...
