Kentucky. In a dark and bloody ground of national political contention, Kentuckians are paying much more attention to the presidential race than to their own drab Senate campaign between Incumbent John Sherman Cooper and former Governor Keen Johnson. Able Republican Cooper, onetime U.S. Ambassador to India, is probably more liberal than his challenger. Johnson, a prominent businessman (vice president of Reynolds Metals), is locally famed for his frugality: as Governor (1939-43), he ran a tight treasury, spent less than the legislature allotted, liquidated the state debt and ran up a surplus of $10 million. Cooper is ahead...
What remains is a scrawny tale about a young schoolteacher who tries to get hired in a nasty town called Cooper's Landing, but succeeds only in being cuckolded. Every so often the author introduces another character and halts all action for a couple of chapters while she tells how he achieved his present wretchedness. The measure of how feeble are the author's efforts is that the major shockers concern a servant girl who becomes pregnant, a woman who bears a Mongolian idiot, and a young man who will not admit that he is a homosexual.

...worrying many of its original backers. Many of the first cars were slapped together by backyard mechanics, and the races had a pleasantly informal air. Now the winning cars come almost exclusively from more than 20 Italian, English, French and U.S. firms-including renowned racing names like Lotus, Cooper and OSCA-who are building the new cars at peak capacity. Europeans are grooming their Formula Junior cars with Grand Prix care and cash. When New York's grand old Vanderbilt Cup was revived in June after a 22-year lapse, the promoters shrewdly chose the Formula Junior...
Crack Formula Junior mechanics and drivers are now getting their cars up to within a few m.p.h. of Grand Prix racers themselves on some tracks. At Salerno, Italy last month, a 27-year-old Belgian businessman, George Saveniers, ran off a curve in a Cooper, killed himself and a spectator and injured 19 others. Italy's Gianpaolo Volpini, builder of one of the hottest Formula Junior cars, says bluntly that drivers are courting suicide when they push the car beyond its theoretical limit of no m.p.h. And the Federation Franfaise des Sports had some words of misgiving: "Formula Junior...
...Arthur Macmillan's fellow laymen agreed. "The whole subject of evil spirits wandering about this world is un-Christian and almost getting near to witchcraft," said a retired physician named Dr. Edward Cordeaux. Others felt that "possession" was a matter for psychiatrists. The Rev. Henry Cooper, chaplain to the Guild of St. Raphael, argued that the more successful exorcists are men who know something about psychiatry and work well with doctors. They resort to bell, book and candle only when psychiatrists have given...
