...Jake Arvey (who could scarcely cling any longer to Adlai Stevenson's star) : "Kennedy's got this country laid out like one big switchboard. He knows what's going on in every state, in every local issue. He's tough and decisive and determined. I marvel at his organizational ability. Openmouthed wonderment was precisely what the pilot of the bandwagon wanted, for the time was at hand to convince the bosses of the big holdout states that they would be left far behind at the Los Angeles convention if they did not scramble aboard.

...very different. For the first time no umbilical cord of guiding radio signals connected it with the ground. As soon as it left the pad, it was on its own, depending on the guidance of its built-in brain and senses. The test was a first-try marvel: the Atlas hit within two miles of a target 5,000 miles down range...
...first-rate cast under Conductor Peter Herman Adler, Bass Cesare Siepi was superb as the don, his voice smooth and resonant, his acting a marvel of revealing, reflex-quick responses to the camera's eye.

Rodgers is a marvel of balance and bounce who can dribble behind his back at full tilt, delicately dissect opponents' defenses with pinpoint passes. Weighing a compact 188 Ibs., Rodgers is so superbly coordinated that he often does not bother to catch a pass, instead taps the ball to the floor to start his dribble. In just his second year as a pro, Rodgers is second in assists-per-game only...
