...chamber is more than plaques, scrolls and citations. There are photographs of all Roy's friends with autographs: Ronald Reagan in his Ten Gallon Hat sends his regards; best wishes from Everett Dirksen, J. Edgar Hoover, Cardinal Spellman, and Cardinal Cooke, and finally a photograph of Nixon and Roy at a banquet, Dick whispering paternal advice to Roy. (Nixon is presently trying to remove Morgenthau as District Attorney, astonishingly enough...
...home town of Pekin, Ill., Everett McKinley Dirksen once wrote and directed Chinese Love, a riceball melodrama about the unrequited passion of one Sing Loo for the beauteous Pan Toy.

Maine's Margaret Chase Smith heads the Senate Republican caucus and will speak for it when it meets. Assistant Leader Bob Griffin of Michigan steps in for Scott when the minority leader is off the floor, and also takes the party headcounts; that...
...York State during one year as Senator. He supported Lindsay for re-election before the Mayor lost the primary, and has campaigned for him since then. Before he got to the point of criticizing the President on the war, he launched an attack on Minority Leader Everett Dirksen. He voted against the ABM. (He once approved a statement his staff wrote condemning the ABM by phone from the President's Air Force...
