Down the Drain? Caught between camps were Southern moderates and erstwhile Northern liberals, e.g., Massachusetts' John F. Kennedy, Idaho's boyish Frank Church, Washington's Henry M. ("Scoop") Jackson, Montana's Mike Mansfield, Tennessee's Estes Kefauver, who had voted in Congress for a watered-down civil rights bill on which both North and South could agree. Chief architect and proud father of the compromise was Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson of Texas, who last week drew the venom of Fair Dealing Columnist Tom Stokes: "It was his aim to get a bill weak enough...
...popular John Cameron Swayze), and even in pairs (NBC's intelligent and informative duet, earnest Chet Huntley and wry David Brinkley). TV's journalists flit all over, like the technically muscle-flexing Wide, Wide World, or work in a simple star chamber, like Interviewer Mike Wallace. On too rare occasions, the newsmakers themselves step before the cameras: Kefauver dueling with a faceless Frank Costello, John McClellan patiently at work on Teamster Jimmy Hoffa and his voluble forgettery.

By exploring areas that the news panel shows had never found cause to enter, Agronsky made a refreshing switch on the usual Dulles interview. (Sample questions: What does a man feel when he faces a decision that might mean the difference between peace and war? How do you reconcile the doctrine of massive...
Liberal Party custom dictates that a Protestant English Canadian and a Roman Catholic French Canadian alternate the party's leadership. The only Protestant of English ancestry prominent enough to succeed Louis St. Laurent is Lester Bowles ("Mike") Pearson, 60, boyish, bow-tied, onetime (1945) Ambassador to the U.S. and External Affairs chief throughout the St. Laurent regime. In that office he gave Canada (pop. 16.5 million) a great say in Western affairs; e.g., the U.N.'s Middle East police force was a result of a Pearson resolution. His only serious political trouble occurred at home, when...
