Wisconsin: The indefatigably confident campaign of Democratic State Senator Gaylord A. Nelson, 42, caught fire in a state whose Republicans have despaired since losing Joe McCarthy's U.S. Senate seat last year to Democrat Bill Proxmire. Probably helped by Proxmire's thumping re-election victory, Nelson unseated once-popular Republican Incumbent Vernon W. Thompson...
Faced with a dais of sharpshooting comedians, frozen-faced Ed Sullivan himself is separated from a smile or two, notably when Friar "Abbot" Joe E. Lewis describes him as the "only fellow who can light a room up-just by leaving it." The smile actually broadens a bit when M.C. Jack Carter snaps back: "Lewis is more than a Friar. He's really a stewing chicken." Between Rocky Graziano's remote snuffles and Jack E. Leonard's belligerent groans, the show seldom slows down.

...back helpfully lifts the disguise: the author is a committee, Harry Middleton and Warren Kiefer, onetime P.R. men for the drug firm Chas. Pfizer & Co.

Pressagent Joe Logan has corrupted a war hero and seduced his fiancee while boosting a dangerous new tranquilizer; he is about to ditch his boss as a Senate committee begins to ask unpleasant questions. But the sight of his employer cruelly beset by Senators is too much. Logan's cry, as he unsheathes...
Still another Crimson score came early in the last period as quarterback Ted Halaby bucked over from two yards out and fullback Joe Grew added two points on a dive. A pass from Myron Adams to end Pete Sieglaff ended the Yardlings' scoring...

Reason No. 1: Tireless Bill Proxmire, 42, elected to Joe McCarthy's seat last year, has turned out to be an inept Senator. His proposed measures for licking the recession would have cost the country $23 billion by G.O.P. estimate and $8.7 billion by his own (he says his other waste-cutting, tax-loophole-plugging bills would more than make up the deficit). Reason No. 2: The G.O.P. managed at its state convention last May to paper over...
