Soon after Herter got back to the U.S., he had to listen to some fervent urging himself: a group of top Massachusetts Republicans insisted that it was his party duty to run for Governor against brass-lunged Democrat Paul Dever. Herter protested angrily: he liked his job and his prospects on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, did not much care to give it up for a long-shot chance at an office that he did not really want.

...modified plan was largely the brainchild of AEC Chairman John McCone, who outlined his proposals last January (TIME, Feb. 2), and got support from the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy.

...sooner had New York's Samuel I. Newhouse added the St. Louis Globe-Democrat to his chain in 1955 than he began trying to put a new shine on the 103-year-old daily. As publisher he installed Richard H. Amberg, who boosted local coverage, gave big play to public-service projects. In the process, Amberg shuffled some job assignments, replaced few staffers who left the paper.
