...Vice President Richard M. Nixon, "the man who stood up to Khrushchev" in the great Moscow kitchen debate, appears to have backed away from arguments presented by Senator Kennedy in the first "living room" debate on TV. It seems to me that a man who professes to have advised the President during the past eight years could have presented better arguments than agreeing with Senator Kennedy's comments for the better part of half the program...
...whole company is going off its rocker trying to think up Stone Age puns. Sooner or later they may have to introduce a new character called Spelunk-head, the village idiot.

He is also at home in Government circles and in the world of Wall Street finance, where Studebaker's mergers may have to be worked out. Choosing a man whose experience is so remote from auto manufacturing marks a victory for S-P executives who have urged acquisitions in nonauto fields. Harold Churchill will henceforth take a back seat while Francis scurries around, looking for mergers...
