Kennedy's reply, as the Ohio grapevine had it, was crisp. To get the nomination, he said, "I must rely on substantial public support, not a controlled convention. But there was a rising possibility that he might be frozen out before he had a chance to demonstrate his public support in meaningful primaries; more and more Democratic Governors (TiME. July 6), and even Senators, were threatening to run as favorite sons. The way to win public support, he made clear, is to run big in a key state. And nothing looked more key-or more appealing-than Ohio, with...
...Filter. This week, plump with ads and solid with facts, the four regional editions of the Farm Journal dropped heavily into country mailboxes across the land. "Hold wool for higher prices," it briskly warned. "Finish selling wheat. Prices are at their peak." As always, the features were gingham-crisp; "New Pay-Offs with Plastic Mulch," "How to Sell Bulls for 30% More," and "Need Bees? Make a Bed for 'Em."

With tears running down his face, he hugged his mother and father, his seven-year-old sister and his five brothers. That afternoon at Lima's National Stadium, President Manuel Prado decorated him with the Sporting Laurel of Peru (First Degree). Olmedo posed with the Davis Cup. then played a fast exhibition match against a fellow Davis Cup team member, St. Louis' Earl Buchholz. Appropriately, Olmedo...
Loyal Owners. Though Romney has loudly condemned annual styling changes (the Rambler has changed little in two years), he will meet the threat of the Big Three's new compact cars by giving Rambler a fresh, crisp look for 1960. If his sales should be hurt, no one doubts that he would completely restyle the Rambler in 1961 to make it competitive with anything that the Big Three can throw...
