Sweating in the summer heat, the candidates whooped through receptions, rallies, teachers' meetings, radio and TV stations, livestock markets, transit garages, factory shift changes, military bases, even (for Holland) a screwworm-eradication plant. According to Pepper, Democrat Holland, 66, was a "Rip van Winkle" who "is asleep most of the time and looks backward when he is awake." According to Holland, Pepper, 57, was a "radical, Communist sympathizer, socialist-trend thinker, Red, ultraliberal." On one big campaign issue, integration, there was no issue: Spessard Holland is an avowed segregationist; Claude Pepper noisily declaimed that he, too, opposes the Supreme...
Robert ("Barney") Baker, liar, thief, union bullyboy and hash-house voluptuary, plopped his 284 Ibs. into a red leather chair facing the McClellan committee. For the next two days Teamsters' Organizer Baker answered questions while the heat from overhead television lamps sent sweat from his pomaded hair down his neck into a wilted white collar that flapped outside his tentlike coat. His lawyers had urged him to take the Fifth Amendment. But Baker decided to clown his way through a performance aimed at concealing a grimly important fact: Barney Baker is just the sort of specimen used...
...modern Antarctic pioneers at the South Pole, Rear Admiral George Dufek last week urged Washington to send atomic-powered heat and light. If that seemed pretty cushy for explorers, it made practical scientific sense.

...Argonne Low Power Reactor went critical, i.e., began a controlled chain reaction, at the Atomic Energy Commission testing grounds in Idaho Falls. The Argonne reactor is a natural-circulation boiling water reactor: it produces steam simply and directly in its core instead of in a separate heat exchanger leading to the turbogenerator, and has an air-cooled condenser that drastically cuts down the total water needed. Full capacity: 3,000 thermal kw. -enough to light 260 average homes or (if used as radiator steam) to heat...
...good news flashed through Madison, Ind. (pop. 10,500) like summer heat lightning. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was coming to town to shoot a $2,500,000 production of James Jones's bad bestselling novel, Some Came Running. Local businessmen came running with promises not to raise prices; local police pitched in to protect M-G-M props; the country club and five hotels and motels were turned over to the movie folk. Nothing so exciting had happened to the green, hilly little Ohio River town since P. T. Barnum brought Jenny Lind to sing in the Pork Palace...
