...cool beauty and grandeur of your June 4 Southern scenes and the captions describing what happened there should help outsiders see why we Southerners so easily let sentiment cloud our wrongheaded race thinking. The rightheaded thinking of my alma mater (Spring Hill College-noted in your Education section) is a source of deep pride-and a tangible sign that sentiment can be overcome. This issue of your magazine is symbolic: men from the Hill, which graduated Mrs. Motley, a Negro, fought in the pictured Civil War battles. There is a new South...
Personality & Prospects: Razor-sharp, affable, cool, sensible, he has been popular in the Pentagon, at the White House, with both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill, and with the press corps, which has found him straightforward and helpful.

There were some bad moments. Wilson was not sure a girl would be convincing talking about such things as "high torque, turbodrive transmission" and "ball-joint suspension," and there were some fears that Julia might be too gentle to compete with "hard-selling" male announcers. Researcher Horace Schwerin came...
...behind the scenes. Along the way, he exploits and blows cigar smoke into the faces of a whole range of characters, from his liberal-minded wife (whom he marries for her vineyards), and a blackmail-prone professor, up to the top brass of the California Democratic Party. He is cool, ruthless, sadistic; even his one friend, Hank Moore, sees him as a lost, fragmented being-an "upward mobile...
