Tractors & Bulls. Bidding for Tennessee's top job is John Jay Hooker Jr., 35, a stylish, well-heeled Nashville attorney and longtime friend of Bobby Kennedy's who headed the abortive 1961 tractors-for-freedom committee to bail out Castro's Bay of Pigs prisoners. Along with a Southern drawl, Hooker manages a touch of Boston brogue, has a handsome wife who expects to have a baby, Kennedy-style, around the August primary...
...Hooker's opponent for the Democratic nomination is Buford Ellington, 58, who resigned in January as President Johnson's Office of Emergency Planning chief. During an earlier term as Governor, Ellington backed Johnson for President at the 1960 Democratic Convention, and the two have often exchanged visits and swapped breeding bulls.

The late Dr. Edmund Bergler found certain traits present in all homosexuals, including inner depression and guilt, irrational jealousy and a megalomaniac conviction that homosexual trends are universal. Though Bergler conceded that homosexuals are not responsible...
...drug rap, Chico comes home chastened, then stumbles into every conceivable temptation. His parents object to the company he keeps, so he moves in with a chic call girl, played by fiery Mexican Beauty Kitty de Hoyos, whose claim to fame loses nothing in translation. Because his hooker cannot support both him and her drug habit forever, Chico starts peddling heroin, ultimately resumes using...
