...Lott runs a poor second in voter polls to Jánio Quadros, the shaggy reformer from São Paulo who recently accepted the nomination of the conservative National Democratic Union (TIME, March 9). If Lott stays out of the race, he will have the demanding job of keeping army tempers cool during the fiery heat of a Brazilian campaign. He frankly believes that "besides defense, the army has a great responsibility for national unity and social order...
...Times looked as out of place as Plato on a comic-book rack. Even the questions from readers were formidable: What is truth? What is justice? What is love? The columnist's name and title were enough to send Smilin' Jack fans into a tailspin: Dr. Mortimer J. Adler, director of the Institute of Philosophical Research.

Cohn's Quotations, on the other hand, utilized 103 instruments (including the exposed strings of a grand...
...interest was a recent Federal Communications Commission decision handed down after a Lar Daly complaint. Running for Chicago mayor, as usual, in this year's primary campaign, Splinter Candidate Daly howled that the TV stations had slighted him in favor of the other candidates-Democrat Incumbent Richard J. Daley and Republican Timothy P. Sheehan. The FCC agreed, ruled that Daly had time coming. Rather than contest the decision, most stations grudgingly put Lar ("America First") Daly (for legalized gambling, against public schools) on the air. WBBM-TV, the CBS station in Chicago, was one which chose to fight...
