...four disaffected aides who instigated the investigation by filching Dodd's private papers and letting Columnists Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson copy them. The testimonial dinners? "Commonplace, openly conducted, but in view of the abuse I've received, I wish I'd never heard of one." The free use of a car? "Now what's wrong with that? Other people had lent me cars. I never did anything for any of them that I wouldn't do for anyone else...
When the sheriff of Maricopa County laid aside his six-shooters and went to Washington, President Taft's cow Pauline was grazing on the White House lawn, and about the only Roosevelt anyone had ever heard of was Colonel Teddy. Dwight Eisenhower was a cadet at West Point, Lyndon Johnson was barely out of diapers, and John F. Kennedy was not even born. The world has changed almost beyond recognition since 1912, but last week, as Stanford University honored one of its most celebrated alumni with a distinguished service award, Arizona's Senator Carl Hayden, 89, was still...
...election time in South Korea, and on the eve of this week's voting, the country echoed with the same names and many of the same words that it heard in the 1963 campaign.

After Edward M. Gilbert's daring 1958 takeover of the E.L. Bruce Co., a leading manufacturer of hardwood products, Wall Street figured it would be hearing a lot more from the 34-year-old financial whizbang. What it heard was not exactly what had been expected. One day in 1962 Gilbert in formed Bruce directors that he had used $1,953,000 in company funds in a futile effort to cover heavy stock losses. Then he boarded a plane for Brazil. Returning voluntarily four months later, Gilbert has since lived a life that belies his onetime jet-set status...
