...heat, Lyndon began walking. He heard his beagles, Him and Her, the First Family of dogdom yapping. "Let's get the dogs," he said. "They-all heard you talkin' and they want to go too." On his fourth lap around the driveway, the President turned the panting beagles over to a Secret Service man, explained, "They're gettin' hot." So were the 60 reporters, but Lyndon loped on, talking about the convention. "John Pastore was just excellent," said Johnson, who had personally phoned the Rhode Island Senator to congratulate him after his keynote address. "My barber...
...recently retired president of Molybdenum Corp. of America, who helped found the company in 1920 to refine steel-hardening molybdenum, in 1950 made a major splash when his prospectors discovered, near Mountain Pass, Calif., the world's largest deposit of exotic "rare earths," whose yet-to-be-exploited heat-resistant qualities make them the promising metals of the atomic age in nose cones, reactor shields and other critical parts; of a heart attack; in Manhattan...

In the 1958 elections, Allende came within a hairbreadth 29,000 votes of becoming the Hemisphere's first avowed Marxist...
...visiting the churches and the 135 priests of the Society of St. James the Apostle, which he founded six years ago in alarmed awareness that Latin America, where priests are fewest in proportion to professed Catholics, is perilously open to Communist (particularly Red Chinese) appeals. Through the lowering heat of coastal Ecuador and the wintry mist of Peru, he worked until exhaustion, made worse by his bad health, left him unable to talk.
