Budget on Main Street. The man really responsible for the Democratic split is none other than the lame-duck (by XXII Amendment) President of the U.S., whom Johnson had written off last January in his own "State of the Union" message to fellow Democrats. With the help of a booming economy, Dwight Eisenhower has managed to sell his balanced budget on Main Street. (Says New Hampshire Republican Norris Cotton: "A lot of fellows used to tell me how alarmed people were back home about the budget, but I never believed it. My voters never cared about these big problems down...

When the geriatricians have succeeded in adding another age to Shakespeare's seven, what will all the porcelain teeth chatter about? The same old things, answers thirtyish Author Spark in this novel of arthritis and ague. None of her major characters will see 70 again, but since no sin has yet proved deadly, the reasoning of the ancients seems to run. there is reason to hope that wrongdoing may even be healthful. So they tyrannize each other, gloat over signs of decrepitude in contemporaries, stir the ashes and the urns of old loves with gossip. One septuagenarian lady runs...
