...Urging. But, apparently almost overnight, Jack Kennedy had some second thoughts. Next day at Glen Ora, the rented Kennedy estate in Middleburg, Va., the President conferred with Stevenson again-and this time Kennedy strongly urged Adlai to stay at the U.N. He said Adlai would have a tough fight against Dirksen, particularly in the downstate counties; even if he won, and could wangle a seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, his influence as a junior Senator would still be negligible...
...healthy share of Government contracts for Seattle's Boeing plant, for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and the Sand Point Naval Air Station. He speaks of the vast Columbia River Basin reclamation project as though he had built it himself-"This year I put up the Glen Canyon transmission lines."

It was on the green-lawned, Angus-stocked, 97-acre Hammersmith Farm, owned by her stepfather and mother, Hugh and Janet Auchincloss, that Jackie spent her youthful summers. It was in the rambling...
Doubtless there are many ways in which the USIA might be improved. But surely such improvements will result from constructive suggestions, not editorial anacolutha. I have known some brave and competent men in the USIA who suffered from McCarthyism and I think your editorial does them less than justice. Glen D. Camp, Jr. '53, Former USIA Asst. Information Officer
