...Billie Sol Estes scandal just kept growing and growing-and every time an answer turned up, so did a few more questions. Last week the New York Herald Tribune (see THE PRESS) got its eager hands on a copy of the Agriculture Department's secret report on Billie Sol's cotton manipulations. Dated Oct. 27, 1961, the 140-page document clearly warned that Estes was a sleight-of-hand wheeler-dealer. Yet, three weeks after the report was submitted, Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman confirmed Estes' appointment to the National Cotton Advisory Committee, and the Pecos Ponzi...
...nation's second astronaut soared into orbit, landed all over the front pages of the U.S. press and, after a parade or two, almost dropped from view.

"What might be called the Republican guess," said the Daily News, "is that President John F. Kennedy brought on the recent market slumps and slides with his savage, Gestapo-like attack on the steel companies. Democrats guess otherwise . . . that the market re-entry actually was caused by a widespread realization that the era of inflation in this country is over for a long time to come. Our own hunch is that Columnist Walter Lippmann taxed...
...delivery truck pulled up to the White House, and Driver William Shaw got out with the ten free daily copies of the New York Herald Tribune that are allotted to the White House tenant. But before Shaw had a chance to drive off, a White House messenger appeared, ripped the wrapper off the bundle and tossed all ten Tribs back into the truck. "What'll I do with them?" asked Shaw. "I don't care what you do with them," said the White House man coldly, "but I don't want them around here...
