...more than Ike's 1956 mark-but in the central and east Texas rural areas and in some of the smaller Texas cities, the Democratic ticket picked up steadily, and Bruce Alger's blunder made a big difference. One top Nixon adviser insists that it even helped lose South Carolina, where voters resented the unchivalrous attitude toward Lady Bird...
Gloomy Muttering. Despite suggestions from the manufacturers that dieters should consult with their doctors and should also maintain a carefully selected food intake, thousands are under the mistaken impression that they can go on eating as much as they like and still lose weight, so long as they drink their Metrecal. Even those who know better are sometimes weak in will power. Office workers in one San Francisco place recently heard the telltale sound of a crinkling candy-bar wrapper, found a devout but spineless dieter surreptitiously gobbling chocolate and cookies at her desk...
Britain mourned the passing of the close working relationship between Eisenhower and Macmillan, worried that Britain would lose some of its privileged status as the U.S.'s closest collaborator. British genealogists wistfully recalled that Kennedy's late sister Kathleen was the wife of the Marquess of Hartington, a nephew of Lady Dorothy.

Though U.S. carriers complain that TCA can chop fares only because it has government support, U.S. lines will probably have to follow suit to stay competitive (See BUSINESS).

TCA Boss McGregor is not concerned about his competitors. "The lower we can keep fares without getting into a chronic deficit position," he says, "the better it will be for both...
...success (through ambition and thrift) or with his failure (through greed, circumstance or the follies of love). A distinctly American contribution to the art of fiction is the discovery that success is failure. In the first 500 novels devoted to this notion, the unimpeachable moral that a man may lose his soul while making money proved reasonably arresting, but by now, the theme has become an overpowering bore and need no longer be written; it can be assembled from the fictioneer's cliché kit. The recurrence of the theme may prove, as some claim, a deep uneasiness...
