...sitting in on the hearings although not a member of the committee, was unwilling to let it go at that. His reluctance set off a shouting match. Williams said he had offered Committee Counsel Lennox McLendon, a back-home crony of Committee Chairman Everett Jordan's, Democrat of North Carolina, a "rather complete file" on various McCloskey contracts. McLendon, he said, had brushed the offer aside, saying he wasn't interested. Roared McLendon: "Senator, you're absolutely and unalterably untrue in your statement . . .

...Gideon. Mondale went to Washington with Humphrey, became an official of Students for Democratic Action, at 30 managed Orville Freeman's successful campaign for a third term as Governor. In 1960 Freeman appointed him to fill the eight-month unexpired term of the state's attorney general, who had resigned.

Washington's Governor-elect Daniel J. Evans, a 39-year-old engineer who upset two-term Democrat Albert Resellini, urged the party to "reconstruct our framework in terms that will encompass a variety of opinion." Former Vice President Richard Nixon, who had reinstituted himself as the favorite target of some cartoonists by attacks on his fellow moderate Nelson Rockefeller, now called for a centrist leadership that would...
...white and blue inaugural bunting was down from the lamp posts and buildings throughout Santiago, and the distinguished visitors had returned home to such faraway places as Ghana and Senegal. Last week Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei, 53, Chile's newly-installed president by virtue of a resounding victory over Communist-backed Salvador Allende, called his first Cabinet meeting and got down to the toil of pulling his country back from the cliff edge of financial ruin...
