...major shooting scrape in the continuing California political feud between Vice President Richard Nixon and Governor Goodwin J. Knight came on Aug. 8, 1954, in their fight for control of the Republican State Central Committee. Knight won hands down, installing his men both as chairman and vice chairman, largely because many of the committee members are appointed by state legislators who are notoriously sensitive to the governor's patronage and his veto power over their pet bills. Since then, it has been generally taken for granted that "Goodie" Knight could do much as he liked with the State Central...
...turned up on the noisiest and brashest of Manhattan's tabloids, the scandal-shrieking Evening-Graphic, where Walter Winchell was beginning his labors in the vineyard of gossip.

For the second week in a row Thornton Wilder proved himself TV's most adaptable playwright...
...strongman herded four scapegoats out of his Cabinet. Jerónimo Remorino, Foreign Minister since 1951, was a logical Scapegoat No. 5. As Minister of Worship (the Foreign Minister wears two hats), he had official jurisdiction over church-state relations during Perón's bitter pre-revolt feud with the Roman Catholic Church. But Perón deferred action on Remorino's tendered resignation for a while, possibly to keep the herding from looking like a stampede. Last week, with Remorino disabled by a liver ailment, Perón at last decided to act. Into the ministerial...
