...critical aspects of the world situation have raised the Democratic convention stocks of Johnson and Stevenson. They also have given Senator Symington a better opportunity to exploit his pioneer criticisms of the Eisenhower military defense programs. They tend to accent unfavorably Senator Kennedy's youth and administrative inexperience. Nixon will be hurt in the campaign by his obligatory defense of Executive handling of the U-2 episode, but Khrushchev's attacks will make his nomination even more certain and help his electoral prospect...
...tubes? In New York, says Scriptwriter Kanin grimly, there is only one way a poor girl can make that kind of money. Will she do it? Will she let the villain sully her virtue and filet her soul?

He learned early the bases of his calling-how to exploit hypochondria, and how to aggravate the bone-bred dislike of the ignorant for honest physicians ("Don't let your doctor two-dollar you to death," he was to thunder later...
...Kennedy's argument that he has thereby placed Democratic bosses and kingmakers (most of them Catholics, some decidedly cool to Kennedy) in a dilemma: if they do not nominate him, the Democrats stand to alienate the Catholic vote-a situation that Vice President Nixon might be tempted to exploit by turning to a Catholic vice-presidential running mate, such as Labor Secretary James Mitchell...
