...Chicago. In their vastly differing fashions, two Republican newspapers illustrated their Republican publishers' dissatisfaction with the Republican President of the U.S. Beyond that the similarity stopped. Union Leader Publisher William Loeb is a splenetic individualist for whom the description reactionary seems inexact. Daily News Publisher-Editor John S. Knight is a man of calmer mien whose estrangement from President Eisenhower is more restrained and at the same time more significant. For a report on two noteworthy journalists, see PRESS, Thunder on the Right and "That Stinking Hypocrite...
...editorial might well have run in the Chicago Tribune. In fact, it appeared in John Shively Knight's Chicago Daily News and the four other metropolitan newspapers of the Knight chain.* Written by Publisher Knight, whose weekly, three-column "Editor's Notebook" sets policy for all Knight papers, the editorial was the latest in a series of pronouncements through which the powerful chain in less than five months has abjured its longtime support for Eisenhower and marched toward total estrangement from Modern Republicanism...
...Amadis de Gaule hangs in the adjacent room in the Virginia Museum, made storm and strife the very center of his painting, and became the great painter of the 19th century Romantic movement. Choosing a scene from the popular 14th century Portuguese romance of chivalry, Delacroix depicted the Good Knight Amadis de Gaule (whose exploits took him from Britain to Constantinople) as he strides, plumes tossing, to greet the Princess Olga, after he and his companions have forced the castle of treacherous Galpen.

...thrown for him at the Hollywood Palladium by 2,200 well-heeled Republicans, Knowland got a raft of solid applause, intoned a rambling speech that was significant only for intimations of his political future. Potshot at Ike: the budget should be cut-by $3 billion, no less. Potshot at Knight (who was avoidably absent from the dinner): "The people of California are entitled to select their own nominees for public office and not to be handed a selected group where the public has no real choice ... in determining the nominees for governor." Big Bill, it was easy...
...part, "Goodie" Knight saddled up, too. He has no intention of giving way to Knowland, for easygoing Goodie likes being governor as much as he dislikes Knowland-and nearly as much as he dislikes Richard Nixon. And he is stone-cold to any deal that might have him running for Knowland's vacant seat in the Senate. Even in a state that already has a Knowland and a Nixon, Goodie thinks about 1960, and that potent weapon, the 70-man state delegation to the G.O.P. Convention. And beyond that, maybe even the big white ranch house down yonder...
