...audience with Colorado State G.O.P. Chairman Charles A. Haskell and two Colorado political candidates, Lieut. Governor Gordon Allott, who is running for the Senate, and Donald G. Brotzman, candidate for governor. Ike told the group that, on second thought, he does not like the "middle of the road" label he himself hung on his program.

Next day she hopped down to Washington and was soon sitting in the front row of the House of Representatives' diplomatic gallery.

...ways of art experts are usually cautious and often strange. A case in point is the history of a small oil Pieta at the Palazzo Bianco in Genoa. In 1893 the painting bore a label boldly attributing it to Rubens. Later, when critics questioned the label, the museum withdrew the painting from view.
