Iowa: Eisenhower and G.O.P. Senator Bourke Hickenlooper are ahead. Local Republican organiza tions are beginning to work harder for Republican Governor Leo Hoegh (TIME, Oct. 22) in his neck-and-neck race against Democrat Herschel Loveless...
Many a wise old political head was wagged in pity last September when Vice President Richard Nixon put Texas on his campaign itinerary. All the signs of local politics indicated that Texas would be a Republican wasteland-and Republican campaigning for Texas' 24 electoral votes a waste of precious time. At first the old heads seemed right; Nixon spoke m Houston's Music Hall to a crowd that filled fewer than two-thirds of the 4,000 seats. But the Vice President listened as he talked, looked as he was looked at, and recommended that the G.O.P. make...

...Town Club, currently leading the Montreal rugby league, should have little trouble with the local aggregation. With its four Business School players kept home by Saturday morning exams and five of the other regulars unable to take a long weekend's respite from midterms, the Crimson rounded out the team with four of the better ruggers from the idle M.I.T. squad...
