...bond between Poteet and Lolita. the nymphet of the bestselling novel by Vladimir Nabokov (TIME, Sept. 1), seems even more vague than the "kissin' cousin" kinship Poteet claims for Steve, who dutifully has made her his ward. Poteet plays polo and coaches basketball, is always chaperoned when she travels with Steve. Square-jawed Steve gives his ward only the most brotherly kisses, has even punished her with a sound paddling. In contrast, Lolita confines her athletics to the bedroom, romps from motel to motel across the nation with her stepfather Humbert Humbert...
Pregnant and ailing with morning sickness, Jamelle Folsom, wife of Alabama's mountainous (6 ft. 8 in., 265 Ibs.) Governor James E. ("Kissin' Jim") Folsom, checked into a Montgomery hospital for treatment. Lumbering soon after her was Kissin' Jim himself, who sagged into a bed and summoned an old friend, Montgomery Advertiser Editor Grover Hall, for a hot scoop.

More interesting was another Deep South tidbit: although unlicensed, Student Pilot Folsom has been soloing on the sly-a violation of CAA rules...
There was nothing surprising about the scores; the New York Yankees were supposed to beat their kissin' cousins, the Kansas City Athletics-even if the A's were in second place. Still, there was something special about the doubleheader that dragged through a damp afternoon and evening at Yankee Stadium last week. For those two games told the story of American League baseball in the summer of 1958: when Yankee hitters were hot, their pitchers held off the opposition and they breezed home (10-2). When Yankee hitters were helpless, their pitchers held off the opposition and they...
...himself an unhooded knight of white supremacy, first attacked Patterson for his K.K.K. ties, then shut up when he saw that the charge was backfiring in Patterson's favor. More important than the Klan issue was the fact that Patterson had taken a tough stand against retiring Governor "Kissin' Jim" Folsom and ridden the across-the-ballot tide against Kissin' Jim's political...
