Washington's Henry ("Scoop") Jackson was first to go, then Oregon's Maurine Neuberger. Finally the founding member of the U.S. Senate's Pacific Northwest lonelyhearts club moved to adjourn permanently. In a Shoreham Hotel suite, Senate Chaplain Rev. Dr. Frederick Brown Harris married Washington's Warren G. Magnuson, 59, one of the capital's most sociable eligibles since shortly after his first marriage ended in divorce in 1935, to Mrs. Jermaine Peralta, 41, a Seattle widow.

At home, he was well behaved, with a normal ten-year-old's enthusiasm...
...give-and-take of partisan politics, New York's tart-tongued G.O.P. vice-presidential candidate, Bill Miller, usually gives a lot more than he gets. But last week, as Miller swept along a 4,931-mile trail through Indiana, Iowa, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, California, New Mexico and Colorado, he found himself on the receiving end for a change, fending off a spate of charges...
