...victory was virtually a one-man win. Against advice, Tory Leader John Diefenbaker correctly sensed that Canada had had a bellyful of self-assured government too long in power. The pain affected even Liberals with a subtle death wish: many wanted their own party cut down for the good of the two-party system. A Liberal in Ottawa who voted Tory summed up a common Liberal reaction: "I never dreamed everybody else would do what I did!" Among the irritants was External Affairs Chief Lester Pearson's we-know-best refusal to answer the crowding questions about the suicide...
...quiet, immaculate Paris studio overlooking the Gare Montparnasse railroad tracks, likened it to "one of those hermit's caves where lions used to go to have thorns taken out of their paws." U.S. Sculptor Alexander Calder saw the bright rectangles on Mondrian's walls, went home, set the cubes in motion by creating his first mobile.

He is rather proud to find himself an institution of sorts-the No. 1 U.S. Bohemian. One of the most appealing things in his book is his shyly proud report that his correspondence (including a postcard from Mecca) is filed in the special-collections division of the University of Southern California's library, a mass of 10,000 items which must comprise the biggest pile of profound piffle since Greenwich Village...
...biggest disappointement to the Crimson squad yesterday afternoon came when number one-man Tom Wheeling lost to Yale Captain Bob Nisselson. Wheeling shot 71, only two over par, but dropped the match when Nisselson shot a fantastic score...
