Seasoned Judgment. In Oklahoma City, arrested for driving a motor scooter without a license, William Bryant, 88, told the traffic judge he had not applied for a license because he thought he had to be accompanied by his parents...
Into Bangkok last week to star in an all-cotton fashion show and present two high-style cotton dresses to Thailand's Queen Sirikit flew the U.S.A.'s 1959 Maid of Cotton, pretty, blue-eyed, brunette Malinda Diggs Berry, 21-year-old Oklahoma State University coed. Like a debutante on a grand tour, Malinda arrived with a chaperone, a pressagent and nine suitcases containing 25 costume changes (including a native dress for each land she would visit).

What it finally brought forth, by a vote of 188 (176 Democrats and twelve farm-state Republicans) to 177 (114 Republicans and 63 Democrats) was a legislative monstrosity. Even the bill's sponsor, Oklahoma Democrat Carl Albert, admitted: "Nobody wants the bill . . . None of the farm groups, wheat organizations or producers support it." But if nothing else, the House wheat bill lived up to a time-hallowed political principle: When in doubt, give the farmers more, not less...
