...sports at the annual dinner of Washington's Touchdown Club were having too high a time to sit still for speeches. So they hoped that Illinois Freshman Senator Charles Percy, 47, would keep it crisp when he rose to deliver an encomium to Everett McKinley Dirksen, who was the club's honored guest. Like a Big Ten cheer leader, Percy waved flash cards bearing each letter of Dirksen's full name. " 'E' is for Effectiveness," he began, and proceeded to expatiate on how effective Ev is.

When his 70%-approval ratings were a dime a dozen, the President's inside coat pocket always bulged with polls, ready to be yanked out and proudly displayed at a moment's notice. Since his popularity went into a decline, he has tended to keep those polls out of view, if not quite out of mind. Last week he had a rare choice...
