...Dewey visit. As a former New York Governor, Tom Dewey could hardly come out formally against Rockefeller, his incumbent successor. But he is still the Vice President's longtime friend and sometime political cicerone. Best Washington analysis: Dewey's visit was an unofficial but undisguised blessing for Dick Nixon and his candidacy...
...Greeks, adds, "Partly that is why they were patients." There is evidence that even in such lowly animals as rats, the loss of hope is the fatal factor in stress experiments. And in man Dr. Menninger notes what he calls the "Queequeg phenomenon" of "voodoo death" in Moby Dick. Most physicians, he believes, have seen cases where the loss of hope has hastened death...
...glib-jib Private Eyes (Snow BUSINESS, Oct. 26).

It was no Moby Dick by temperament either: far from eluding pursuit, it seemed to seek out Dr. White. No fewer than five times it ran itself aground at Provincetown, virtually on Dr. White's Boston doorstep (though he was in Washington). Four times the U.S. Coast Guard hitched a 3-in. hawser to it and towed it out to sea, only to have it snap the line and return with a derisive...
