Barry Goldwater of Arizona (five electoral votes) won a presidential nomination, and so did Alf Landon of Kansas (nine electoral votes in 1936). Goldwater, of course, had some special things going for him. He had been a Senator with a national platform, and for eleven years he used it to expound a distinctive philosophy that became totally identified with his name and appealed powerfully to the conservative wing of the G.O.P. His chairmanship of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee for six years gave him virtually unlimited access to the banquets and bankrolls of party members all over the country...
After the war, Rehse settled in West Germany with his wife and daughter, and in 1956 managed to win a judgeship in the Schleswig-Holstein state court-only to lose it eleven months later when his past caught up with him.

Playing for a team that as late as June 8 was in last place, eleven games off the pace, Jim has won eight games and lost only two. His earned-run average is 1.80 -best of any starting pitcher in the American League-and he leads the league in shutouts with five. Last week the Angels were in fifth place, only six games behind the Chicago White Sox, and Manager Bill Rigney was hollering at his players in the locker room...
Since Ben W. Heineman, 53, took control of the Chicago & North Western Railway eleven years ago, he has injected a youthful zip into the once floundering company. Last week he gave a further injection, naming 40-year-old Larry S. Provo to the company's No. 2 spot and making him just about the youngest president of a major U.S. railroad. Heineman has shifted some of his previous duties to the new man, but is not exactly ready for a golden-years club. He continues as chief executive officer as well as chairman...
