...Democratic "1956 strategy" dinner in Manhattan. Among his hearers were Tammany's Carmine DeSapio, Pittsburgh's Mayor and Boss Dave Lawrence, and Michigan's Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, who thinks his green bow-tie talisman may lead him to the vice presidency at least. Another guest, National Chairman Butler, brought encouraging words. A few days before the dinner, he told Albany reporters that "many people around the country" favor Harriman for President...
...Langdell Hall seminar room for the weekly two-hour session. Among those present: two Army colonels, an Australian defense official, an Air Force captain, a Navy captain, professors of history, economics and government; a scattering of yet-to-be-drafted 25-year-olds.

At a recent rehearsal with Violinist Nathan Milstein, Katims called a halt...
Critical Ball Game. Last month Seattle started to worry again. On his winter leave Conductor Katims did a grueling. 17-con-cert guest stint with the Houston Symphony. Word leaked out that Houston, which was in the market for a permanent conductor (TIME, Feb. 7), made Katims an offer-$30,000 a year, far more than he gets in Seattle (about $18,000). Seattle prepared itself to be conductorless once more...
