...archetype of The Last Hurrah breed, and smooth-tongued David Ignatius Walsh, first Irishman ever elected to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. Walsh was some times a trial: whenever he paid a call, he insisted on quizzing Larry on his American history and catechism. But Curley was another, headier cup of tea: as a bug-eyed boy, Larry listened spellbound as his father and Curley conspired like Sinn Feiners about the ways to break the hated Yankee Republican grip on western Massachusetts. And always there was a recurrent theme: "Our kitchen used to be the place where some...
With the 1964 Republican National Convention still three betwixt-cup-and-lip years away, Richard M. Nixon still holds a huge lead among G.O.P. voters for his party's presidential nomination. The Gallup poll this week reported that 60% of Republicans prefer Nixon to either New York's liberal Governor Nelson Rockefeller, with 18%, or Arizona's conservative Senator Barry Goldwater, with 17%.

The other U.S. girls-none over 18-looked raw and unpromising alongside such seasoned British stars as Wimbledon Champion Angela Mortimer, Runner-up Christine Truman, and French Champion Ann Haydon. What made the upset all the more upsetting was the 18-year-old who engineered it: a rangy (5 ft. 6 ½in., 125 Ibs.) brunette from...
...Cripple Mah sets out with the baby and an old billy goat, which he had purchased under the impression that it was a nanny, to seek his fortune in Peking. It is not long before he is supporting another Comrade Sweetheart. Even in a progressive state, this is one cup of water too many, and soon Mah finds himself in a corrective labor camp, being washed of bigamous thoughts. Everything turns out well, just in time for the second-act curtain. Says San Franciscan Lee, who last saw his native China in 1943, and ten years later began culling material...
