...Nixon was taking nothing for granted last week in his campaign for vice-presidential renomination. Chigger-bitten by Harold Stassen, stung by California Governor Goodwin Knight's bumblebee efforts against him (TIME, Aug. 27), Nixon spread political balm in San Francisco with a soothing hand. Like a busy doctor, he moved from room to room of his Mark Hopkins Hotel suite to talk to delegations-and before long, the traffic was so heavy that the only way the delegates could leave was by the interior fire stairs...
...asked by her Mother Superior: "Would you, Sister Luke, be big enough, tall enough, to fail your examinations to show humility?" Gabrielle prayed for guidance, but concluded with her own answer: "This I cannot do, O Lord." She graduated fourth in a class of 80.

The speech made by Dr. Merritt's friend, one Albert Shoemaker, has the uncanny accuracy of sentimentality and vernacular inflection that perhaps only O'Hara can command. Anyone who has lived in a small town can read it with an absolute guarantee that it will make...
...days when he worked at the local drugstore, his herculean labors with the injured the day of the great train wreck, how he raised funds for the nearby hospital, how soft he was about collecting bills from the poor. Brusquely, yet delicately, Speaker Shoemaker talks about the doctor's great bereavement−the beloved wife whose mind gave way after she lost two babies. A Family Party is slight, but it was not intended to be more. It is sentimental, but its quota of sentimentality is precisely the dollop that is a standard ingredient in the life of almost...
