...spectacle of newspapers expressing alarm at heavy government spending was not new. Still, the reaction against Ike's budget was so widespread that some Democratic partisans were quick to suggest a considerable disenchantment with the President. In Cervi's Rocky Mountain Journal, a Denver weekly, Democratic Publisher Eugene Cervi crowed: "Big business and its willing handmaiden, the fat metropolitan dailies . . . loved Ike as long as he was a 'weak President.' Now that the President's social conscience is beginning to bother him, the harlots of journalism are screaming." More realistically, the Atlanta Constitution...

When the Minneapolis Lakers made lanky Terry Rand their second-draft choice and offered him a $7,500 contract, Groom and Dee made a somewhat different pitch: Did Rand want to study law? Well, Denver U. had a fine law school, and an executive trainee with DC Trucking would have time for classes as well as practice sessions and some 30 games of basketball a season. A trainee would get $400 a month salary plus all the fringe benefits, including a sizable bonus. And who knows? Rand might like Denver Chicago and go on to make transcontinental trucking his career...
