...influential heyday, Boston Industrialist Bernard Goldfine, now finished with a three-month stretch for contempt of court and adjudged psychologically incompetent to stand trial on a tax evasion rap, tried to extend his sphere of largesse beyond Presidential Aide Sherman Adams. Among other grand gestures, Goldfine once sent every state Governor a bolt of costly vicuna fabric turned out in his own mills. One Governor who never returned the gift was Michigan Democrat G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, Jack Kennedy's new Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. Last week, at a farewell party thrown for him by Michigan...
...famed theorist on international law whose practical experience dates back to the days of the League of Nations, where he assisted crusty old Elihu Root in dealings with the League's Permanent Court of International Justice. Jessup's career suffered a setback during the McCarthy heyday when the Senate, on the strength of a 1951 Internal Security Subcommittee investigation, withheld confirmation of his appointment as a U.S. delegate to the U.N. (Senators objected to his connections with the Red-infiltrated Institute of Pacific Relations and his editing of a 1949 State Department white paper which flatly blamed Chiang...
...lusty heyday, the Toronto Star, Canada's biggest paper, once hired an entire railroad train to get its men to a story, invariably called liquor "booze," and interviewed heiresses and potentates around the globe.

Templeton, 44, who once cut a wide swath in Canada and the U.S. as a boy-wonder evangelist...
...like bees around a queen when one member makes a louder hum than the others. Thus, when Teddy was a brawny end at Harvard, every Kennedy became an expert football coach and traveled in T-formation to Cambridge on autumn Saturdays to watch him play. In Bobby's heyday as the grand inquisitor of the Senate McClellan committee, when he was making Jimmy Hoffa squirm, the clan became totally absorbed in the investigation, discussed it over every dinner table and every long-distance telephone call and beat a path to the white marble Senate Caucus Room. Even...
...long a fortress of rock-ribbed conservatism, both have earned reputations as "liberals," have won broad labor support. Both prefer to ring bells and shake hands on street corners than to get up on the stump. Both are fiercely independent; e.g., Senator Smith denounced Joe McCarthy in his heyday, later bucked the Administration by voting against the confirmation of Commerce Secretary Lewis Strauss, last time ran with little support from Maine's Republican organization...
