...moderate labor leader is Texas Democrat Ed Watson, 48, son of a deputy sheriff and now vice president of Local 4367 of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union. This will be his first national convention, but Watson has been a political activist since 1952, when he lost a bitter factional fight in his local precinct. "The issue then-as now-was whether liberals or conservatives would control the Texas Democratic Party." Watson favors Humphrey, and thus finds himself for once on the same side as his longtime conservative opponents...
...hours a day," he says. "I had a tremendous desire to be famous." He needed it. At Iowa's Drake University, where he got a master's degree in music, professors patronized him because he eked out his income playing in nightclubs. In the Navy he almost lost his right index finger when a gun breech slammed shut on it. In New York, where he studied classics at Juilliard and jazz with Teddy Wilson and Lennie Tristano, he and his wife existed for seven jobless months on spaghetti-even after Williams had won on Arthur Godfrey...

Having achieved a reputation for bigness, S.O.M. earned a name for high-quality design with Manhattan's Lever House.

More than any other, it set the style of office buildings...

Gibson's record is 14-5, but the last time he lost was May 28. Since June 2, when he beat the New York Mets 6-3, he has pitched 90 innings and allowed just two runs-one of which scored on a wild pitch, the other on a base hit that was fair only by inches. Last week, Gibson blanked...
...Evening News: "It would be a gross understatement to say they know something of the game." Indeed, in their first three matches, the Americans looked impressive. They outscored the Duke of Norfolk's team 178-117 before time ran out (thereby making the match officially a draw), lost by only 15 runs to a squad called the Free Foresters, and beat the Hertfordshire county team by 35 runs...
