...failed to capture all the anti-Humphrey Democrats, even after Kennedy's death. The failure of many Kennedy men to support him is due partly to lingering animosity from the primaries and partly to his essentially passive view of the Presidency. One prominent Kennedyite in search of a new flag had a talk with McCarthy and reported later: "From what he says, he'd turn the conduct of the office over to a committee and go off and read books. That scares the hell...
Inside the truce hut, the game continues across the green felt table that is located precisely athwart the cease-fire line. A battle of flagpoles once went on for weeks as each side tried to have its flag stand higher in the meeting room. They finally agreed that only miniature flagpoles, both of precisely equal size, would be placed on the table, but North Korea has put a spike point atop its tiny table pole to gain a minute one-inch height advantage.

He got only the flag, and when Hollywood in 1965 filmed its version of The Great Race, he suffered the additional indignity of seeing Tony Curtis play the hero. Last week the New York Times announced that it would at long last present Schuster with his grand prix of $1,000. Now 95, totally blind, Schuster has no regrets. "In my lifetime," he says, "I have seen the automobile change from...
