...waists of a couple of "farmerette" Stevenson supporters, joshed away as photographers popped their bulbs ("These aren't cowgirls. These are my girls . . . I think we ought to practice coming in here every night"). He showed perhaps a more profitable political acumen in Harrisburg when he dispatched Running Mate Estes Kefauver to a hotel to cheer up 650 Ladies of the G.A.R., who waxed fuming because they had not been able to get an audience with President Eisenhower in Gettysburg...
...after day of match play always turns a tournament into a mess of upsets. At Lake Forest's Knollwood Country Club last week, even the weather pitched in to ruffle the field. Scores soared on damp, blustery winds. Co-Favorite Ken Venturi, Ward's San Francisco running mate, the man who almost won the Masters, disappeared in the third round.

But Kefauver talked to Stevenson at Adlai's victory party and received personal assurances that the race was indeed open. He left the party, huddled with aides in a post-midnight session, talked it over with...
...Shoes & the Sunset. In Elgin, Ill., rummaging for a pair of red shoes at a dollar-day counter, Sherida Weber spotted a single shoe, saw its mate in the hand of another customer, refused to part with hers, camped near her opponent for five hours until, just before closing time, she agreed to a coin toss, lost, impulsively bought ten pairs of assorted styles...
