...anti-Wagner uproar could have been heard in Schenectady. "This is a very, very black day in the tradition and history of the legislature!" cried Brooklyn Democrat Irwin Brownstein. "What is happening here wasn't created in the senate. It was in the Governor's office and at Gracie mansion [Wagner's official residence]." Buffalo Democrat Frank Glinski roared: "Hitler burned down the Reichstag because he couldn't get majorities! Somebody may put a match to this place soon, too." All to no avail: with all 25 Republican senators joining 15 Democrats, the senate elected Zaretzki...
More Fun. The new rivalry is very much the doing of Journal Publisher and President Victor Irwin ("Dutch") Maier, 65, who felt that competition would benefit both papers. After the merger, the Journal hands who crossed over-among them Assistant Managing Editor Harvey W. Schwandner, now the Sentinel's executive editor-were told that the last thing Dutch Maier wanted was a morning edition of the Journal.

...three effects on light: 1) it deflects it to one side, 2) it changes its frequency, and 3) it slows it down.

Connecticut's only Republican Congressman, Abner Sibal, lost narrowly to the lawyer he had beaten in 1960, Donald J. Irwin. Four New Jersey Democrats defeated Republican incumbents, giving that state its first Democratic congressional majority (eleven seats to four) in 52 years. Louisville's former Democratic Mayor Charles Farnsley, a lanky eccentric who affects custom-made ante bellum clothes but is nevertheless a popular middle-reader, unseated Republican Incumbent Gene Snyder, who angered the district's 78.000 Negroes by voting against the civil rights bill. Across the nation, a dozen other conservative Republicans also toppled. Among them...
