...seventh group was a tall, solemn-faced freshman who bears a strong physical resemblance to James Roosevelt. He was chaperoned by the Senate's runner-up (after Joe McCarthy) for the title of most controversial member: Oregon's vociferously independent Wayne Morse. When Oregon's Richard Lewis Neuberger signed the roster, he was greeted with a friendly burst of applause. Then he formally took his seat in the rear row of the chamber.

...usually mild-mannered, publicity-shunning gynecologist stepped out of character last week and lashed out at the modern U.S. preoccupation with the female bust. Anthropologists and sociologists have already tackled this question as it concerns the male. But Dr. Goodrich C. Schauffler, who teaches at the University of Oregon and practices in Portland, told a Chicago congress on gynecology and obstetrics that it has grave medical effects on the female...
