...Ruse. The detectives pulled abreast of the Ford, waved the driver to the roadside. They greeted the Governor pleasantly, told him that they had been ordered to escort him to the capital. Long's driver got out of the Ford; Chief Detective Herman Thompson slid in behind the wheel and made for Baton Rouge. The disheveled Governor seemed delighted with the attention, spent the remainder of the trip trading small talk...
...voters of Little Rock (pop. 126,300) took a lot of starch out of Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus' fight against school integration last month when they washed three Faubusites out of the school board in a recall election (TIME, June 8).

The only thing that troubled Mimi was that Wolf would never put down his riding crop. Then one golden day they got out of the car and romped in the meadows like children. Leading Mimi to a tall pine, Hitler said: "Just stand there as you are. You're my forest sprite . . . Later you will understand." It was their first stormy kiss.
