...Margret) before joining the Army is a gas. Platoons of maidens march with placards reading "Spare HIM, Take Me," and Conrad (Jesse Pearson) rides his motorcycle, rough-tired, right up the steps of the courthouse square, where a welcoming committee of bobby-soxed votaries is waiting to recite its oath: "I pledge allegiance to Conrad Birdie and to the United States of America." Shrieks greet the sight of his gold lame riding habit, and when he begins to sing Honestly Sincere, even the mayor's wife folds into gatelegged collapse. Pearson's 6-ft. 3-in. frame lacks...
...Leverett Saltonstall should lead the 30-year old Edward Kennedy anywhere, but it is a perfectly natural thing to do in the United States Senate. Salty, as Massachusetts' senior Senator, was the obvious and traditional choice this January to lead Teddy up to the rostrum where he signed the oath book and officially became a United States Senator.

Employees at Pimm's Ltd., the makers of a secret gin sling (Pimm's Cup) whipped up in the 1850s by a London chophouse bartender, are forced to take a company loyalty oath. Only four Carthuisan monks know the formula for Chartreuse, and travel between monasteries to make it. The ingredients for Coke's basic 7-X formula are ordered from separate suppliers in undisclosed quantities, and the formula is kept in a bank vault and in the heads of Chief Chemist...
...inaugural address. Pennsylvania's Scranton told of a troubling remark made to him by a young man during the campaign: "I can't for the life of me figure why anybody would want to be Governor of this state." And even as Scranton was taking the oath of office from State Supreme Court Chief Justice John C. Bell Jr., 70, who served 20 days as Governor in 1947, the problems of being Pennsylvania's chief executive were recalled by seven other ex-Governors. Their bitter sweet memories, as published in the Philadelphia Bulletin...
