...Rarin' & Itchin'." With Rockefeller's nomination achieved, the Republicans in Rochester set about selecting a Senate running mate. Rochester's own Keating had obviously good credentials. A one-time high school Latin teacher, Keating took a law degree at Harvard ('23), went to the House in 1946, became a ranking member of the powerful House Judiciary Committee. Moreover, he rates as one of the smoothest television performers in politics, conducts weekly programs on eight upstate stations, holds no-holds-barred interviews with leading lights of both political parties...

Nobody knows where this radiation comes from or what gives it such high energy. One theory is that cosmic-ray protons are strengthened by interaction with vast magnetic fields wandering in space...

Now 75 and living in well-fed Australian retirement, Sir James Gordon Partridge Bisset sits in the lee of the longboat and spins a salty yarn of life in an oldtime square-rigger. On his first voyage, Bisset was seasick. The mate gave him an old-fashioned cure: a pannikin of sea water poured down his protesting gullet. Though he has never been seasick since, Commodore Bisset notes ruefully: "I have always hesitated to recommend this old-fashioned remedy to passengers in luxury liners."
