...willed matron, promptly sues the other driver (a young millionaire) for $300,000 on grounds that disfiguring injuries have ruined her daughter's budding career as a beauty queen and TV star. But two unexpected witnesses make depositions to set things right. Author Pratt lays on the human gore and displays a nice nose for human greed-shyster lawyers, crooked photographers and assorted vultures circling a big cash settlement. Probably the most absorbing safety lecture since J.C. Furnas'-And Sudden Death...
...huddled with Tennessee's Albert Gore, co-captain of the liberal filibustering bloc, and told him the debate must end. Gore was angry, but he agreed to compromise. Last week Johnson went to Knowland, who said that he would fight on this front all summer and until Thanksgiving, if necessary. Johnson went back to the filibusterers and asked for their terms. They did not want much, really: a vote on three basic amendments. But they also demanded that Knowland stop tabling their amendments and trying to gag them with motions to limit debates.

For no amount of patching, mending or letting out, trimming, tacking or tucking, no gusset, gore, or gather could make last year's dress into this fall's Dior mode. In upstairs closets from Spokane to Athens, Copenhagen to Rome, millions of dresses would suddenly become "that old thing," their value destroyed with a swiftness and efficiency that no moth could hope to match...
...wore on, the filibusterers began to hint that they had had their fun and would fold up their cots this week. Gore, looking fresh as ever, admitted that his fight "is now one of hopeless odds." Toward evening Democratic Leader Lyndon Johnson, who had been conspicuously silent, proposed that all agree to a limitation of debate. Characteristically, Morse objected. Nevertheless, with Johnson telling his Democrats that it was time to show some sense of responsibility, the filibustered were not likely to hold out much longer. Bill Knowland, clearly frazzled but somewhat encouraged, decided to let the Senators take Sunday...
