...maybe," he wrote, "he's the Republican to beat all Republicans: a liberally conservative, but conservatively liberal; progressively moderate, but moderately progressive; middle-of-the-road, up-and-coming, down-and-at-'em Republican-type Republican . . . The net result of this urge to be labeled frequently is that our party members end up in neatly tagged compartments, while the opposition party ends up in public office. The only real gainer is a peculiar political species known as a Democrat Democrat...

His Cabinet splintered, his campaign coffers badly depleted, his candidacy denounced by three of the country's four leading Conservative newspapers, Diefenbaker made what he could of his underdog role.

This amphibious life makes 'em fit for neither, for if the bawd use them ill, away they trip to service and if their mistress gives 'em a wry word, whip they're at a bawdyhouse again, so that in effect they neither make good whores nor good servants...
Died. Frances Davis Lockridge, 67, plot-devising half of the husband-wife team that created the sophisticated Pam and Jerry North detective thrillers, a pleasant, undevious-looking woman about whom her husband Richard once said: "Frances suggests interesting victims-I kill 'em off"; of acute pancreatitis; in Norwalk, Conn...
