...earnest, country-boy style, the dark-framed eyes, the soft, friendly drawl. As he roamed the towns and villages of Tennessee last week, Senator Estes Kefauver seemed his old-shoe self. But at close handshake, there was a big difference: campaigning for a third Senate term, the Keef was running scared. Bird-dogging him was the combined specter of a man and an issue that might well keep Estes Kefauver at home next year. The man was Circuit Judge Andrew ("Tip") Taylor, bombastic relic of the Crump machine and no-quarter segregationist. The issue was civil rights...
...connections with big business. He criticized Tip's attacks on federal aid and charged him with having the support of the "drug interests" who, Estes implies, are out to even the score for the Kefauver Senate investigation of drug prices.

...Ichabod specter of Estes Kefauver clomped through the stop-Kennedy speculation and talk. In 1952, with a successful string of 13 primaries behind him, the Keef was stopped cold in mid-convention by President Harry Truman and the Democratic bosses simply because he did not fit their image of a nominee. No such feelings exist about Kennedy, and his one big bugaboo-his Catholic religion-was gone with West Virginia...
...penny-on bulk Government orders for meprobamate. American Home Products Chairman Alvin G. Brush had an explanation. The two firms either had to offer exactly the same prices or wage a price war, and then "I don't know where the price would be now." Asked the Keef: "If you bid under, do you think that Carter would have bid under also?" Answered Brush: "I am sure they would...
