While the prose still gropes in feudal gloom, the three example of verse do display a rising talent. H. B. Corning's title page swipe at football ticket distribution flows neatly, and the effect is only slightly dampened by a rather inept ending. Lack of a punchline is also the principal fault of his verse-captions for a two-page spread on football weekends. The redeeming features of these two layouts are Hill's cartoons. Another such display, Ah, Radcliffe Girl, suffers conversely; Fletcher's verse is clever and light, but most of the drawings, by J. G. Marcos...
...Hand." In Delaware, candidates of both parties have been dragged into the segregation fight almost despite themselves. Republicans generally have been blamed for an inept performance by G.O.P.

In the role of an Irish lass whose innocence is only overshadowed by her muscle, Miss O'Hara's acting is a pantomime with words...
That night, out of Fort Worth, came a blast from the opposing camp. In a nationally televised speech, old (72) Sam Rayburn, Democratic leader of the House, said the way to save the U.S. is to elect a Democratic Congress on Nov. 2. The Republican Administration is "inept" and its Congress "as forward-looking as yesterday," he charged. He flatly predicted that the Democrats would win both the Senate and the House...
