Segregationist Faubus. Angry at moderate Democratic Representative Brooks Hays for opposing him in the 1957 Little Rock school crisis, Faubus put up Alford-a political amateur-as a general election write-in candidate against Hays. The Governor assigned a crony to be Alford's campaign manager, staged a furious eight-day campaign. With segregation fever white-hot in Little Rock, Alford narrowly upset Hays. In Washington he distinguished himself only by compiling the poorest voting record in the Arkansas delegation (he turned up for 78% of the roll-call votes in the last session, compared with Wilbur Mills...

This was a challenge to Japan's dominance over her own national sport, and it was the ultimate test...

When asked to campaign against Democrat Scott Lucas in Illinois in 1950, Bridges was furious. "Scott Lucas refused to come to New Hampshire in 1948 and campaign against me," he sputtered. "I'll never go after him, no matter how long I live." Last year, for much the same reasons, Bridges refused requests to take the Texas stump against Lyndon Johnson, then running...
