...There's a new law of the land today on the integration problems of public schools," proclaimed Columnist David Lawrence, a Virginia Democrat. "Token integration now has become possible on a constitutional basis everywhere." Alabama's Lieutenant Governor-elect Albert Boutwell, one of the leading advocates of the law, talked of calling a South-wide conference to spread his doctrine. But what the Supreme Court had actually done was grant Alabama the right that it or any other state is entitled to: the presumption of good faith until otherwise proved.

...sooner was Mark Hatfield elected Governor of Oregon last month than the energetic young (36) Republican dashed off a pro forma request to Oregon's eccentric Democratic Senator Wayne Morse. Said Hatfield: Would Morse, as senior member of the state's congressional delegation, arrange a conference so that Governor and delegation could discuss federal-state problems?

Symington holds Missouri, Kennedy can count on New England, and Gore, Kefauver to the contrary notwithstanding, controls Tennessee. Lyndon Johnson certainly doesn't have to worry about Texas, and probably not very much about the rest...
Bagged for a TV interview in Rio, New York's vacationing Governor-elect Nelson Rockefeller gamely plowed through a new, unsought role: stooge on an eggbeater spiel. Following some 20 minutes of political chitchat, sultry Interviewer Lidia Matos casually stuck an appliance in Rocky's grip, asked the key question: What is it? An egg beater, answered Rockefeller, brightly but warily. "You're right," warbled Saleswoman Matos, beaming into the camera. "It's the lightest, most efficient egg beater made in Brazil...
