...Closest to being professional politicians are Lodge's son George, 36, a former Assistant Secretary of Labor, who shares with his father the distinction of having been defeated for the U.S. Senate by a Kennedy, and New York Lawyer Maxwell Rabb, 53, an Eisenhower man who served as Ike's Cabinet secretary and White House adviser on minority affairs. Rabb accepted the job of national director of the Draft Lodge Committee after former Republican National Committee Chairman Leonard Hall turned it down. His strategy is simple in concept, but difficult to execute. "There is a connection," he says...

In the next 26 years, Rube Goldberg produced some 5,000 editorial cartoons. But his heart was never really in his work. And last week, at 80 - an age that sets most men to peering wistfully back toward their youth - Goldberg embarked on a new career...
...Goodbye." Whatever the plan, Mac-Arthur tried it on Ike, who seemed to like the idea. But, MacArthur told Considine, it was dashed by the "cool, calculating voice of the lawyer"-John Foster Dulles.

You cannot fail to be remembered in history as a messiah. Yours is a messianic mission. Believe me! Your name will be called blessed."
