...looks like an English nobleman stalking an elk. His mustache would shame a venerable walrus. He is Theodore Sizer, 71, Professor emeritus of the history of art at Yale, a Harvard graduate ('15) and a 20th century go-getter who gets up and goes in unmistakable 18th century style. Since his 1957 retirement from teaching, "Tubby" Sizer has continued to design the banners and coats-of-arms for Yale's schools and colleges, had previously been cited for "all manner of felicitous embellishment," and last week was officially named Pursuivant of Arms, which Yale proudly proclaims...
Vice Chancellor since 1957, "Uncle Ludwig" was the architect of the nation's postwar prosperity and by far the Christian Democratic Union's best vote-getter. But Chancellor Adenauer, who hates to give way after 14 years in power, and hates even more to give way to Erhard, thought he could stall off Erhard's formal appointment. At a party meeting last week, Adenauer tried to talk about everything but his successor. Grumpily, Adenauer declared that he could not tolerate a Chancellor-designate "looking over my shoulder" in the remaining months before his promised fall retirement...
...only point-getter for Harvard was senior Steve Khinoy, who placed fourth in the epee contest. Khinoy won an honorable mention as best sportsman of the two-day tourney.

Republican Rancor. In Massachusetts, Teddy Kennedy's rout of George Cabot Lodge was perfectly predictable. Far less so was Peabody's apparent win over Republican Governor John A. Volpe. In Connecticut, former Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Abraham Ribicoff, long touted as the greatest Democratic vote getter in the state's history, had his troubles beating Republican Representative Horace Seely-Brown Jr. in the senatorial race. Ex-Governor Ribicoff ran far behind his ticket mate, Democratic Governor John Dempsey, who appealed to the- voters to "please give me your prayers." Dempsey's Republican opponent, Insurance...
...Senate seat vacated by retiring Democrat Oren Long, Dillingham never had a chance against Representative Daniel Inouye, 38, slum child, war hero, first U.S. Congressman of Japanese descent, New Frontiersman ("To be President-Kennedy's rubber stamp is an honor") and by far Hawaii's top vote-getter. If there had been any doubt, it vanished when the Honolulu Advertiser, of which the Dillingham family owns a hefty 12%, astonished the islands by endorsing Inouye. Inouye won by better than 2 to 1, carrying with him Democrat John A. Burns, 53, former territorial delegate to the U.S. Congress...
