...People and politicians were rereading the returns and trying to follow them -according to their own interpretations. A liberal Republican said he and those like him should show their muscles ; a forgotten Republican did handsprings trying to trip up an old enemy. But the most exciting activities were the nip-ups of six Democrats trying to fit the election returns into their own futures. They were scattered across the world and, individually, they practiced political yoga in Puerto Rico, foreign-policy pushups in Paris, telephone calisthenics in Texas, crosscountry running from California, deep-breathing exercises in New Jersey...
...leading contenders, some might wear themselves out doing dressing-room nip-ups before 1960, others might trip over the ropes while entering the ring, others might be kayoed with one presidential primary punch. There will always be more to take their places, but as of this week, six Democrats had emerged from the 1958 elections looking fittest.

...Nip the Recovery? The man with the most reason to be concerned about all this is Treasury Secretary Robert Bernerd Anderson. He must raise up to $12 billion in new financing this year to cover expected budget deficits, and also has to refinance $46 billion in maturing securities. This formidable financing chore comes at a time when yields on recent U.S. bonds are sharply rising. If Anderson raises the coupon rate on forthcoming issues to match the competition from older bonds, he will tend to raise all interest rates. Such a course might well nip the general business recovery...
