Richard Nixon won an important, if narrow, victory. Unlike his Democratic predecessor, however, he had left Congress free to work its will. Nixon's manner in dealing with Congress is almost diffident, a throwback to the more passive presidency of the Eisenhower years, a direct contrast with the hot-breath methods of Lyndon Johnson. Nixon quietly lobbied dozens of Senators for Safeguard, but he never made it a party issue with Republicans. A month ago, Nixon met with five anti-ABM Republican Senators, but mentioned the issue only in passing. He understood their position, he said, and they were free...

...song that epitomizes Loesser's direct style. Rarely was his music concerned exclusively with itself. The lyrics came first, and he proved it by the way he wedded his tunes to the rhythms of the words-by the way he always left room in his songs for a good laugh. Loesser also had a knack for turning the harsh into the lyric. While Guys and Dolls was still on its pre-Broadway tour, Loesser became fascinated with a line in Abe Burrows' book and decided to make a song out of it: The Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap...
