...Nixon's constituents, I should like to protest against a phase of the situation unconnected with the current campaign. In the light of this revelation, I cannot feel that Mr. Nixon represents me or the farmers in the San Joaquin Valley or the people in small northern California towns or many other groups throughout the state . . . I hope Senator Nixon's successor in the Senate will be a Senator from California and not a special emissary from Pasadena...
...Post's story began developing into a most remarkable political tornado. Press services picked it up and spread it across the U.S., where at first it got a treatment indicating editors were only mildly interested. In northern California, reporters interrupted Nixon's first big whistle-stop tour to ask if the fund existed. He said it did.

Last week, seven hours before 200,000 miners in Northern soft-coal mines were to go on strike, the United Mine Workers' astute old John L.

Rowan interviewed the guide and from his precise description identified the birds as whooping cranes...
...blunt words and the police cordon were part of a wrangle that began a fortnight ago with the closing of one Church of Christ in northern Italy, and reached a climax last week when the Italian government closed all 22 of them. In three years of missionary work in Roman Catholic Italy, Church of Christ missionaries have made only 450 converts. Some of their followers, after accepting gifts of food and clothing, have gone back to Catholicism. But until the closing, the outlook for more converts still seemed hopeful...
