...from glamorous Grandma Dietrich. Instead of heavy-lidded Weltschmerz, Kentucky's bright-eyed Rosemary has been peddling homespun charm since she was three. She began with Home on the Range, worked up to a radio series while still in high school. A feature spot with Tony Pastor's band led to a contract with Columbia Records (where among her other chores she did children's songs). Last year she recorded a strange ditty called Come on-a My House.* It sold 1,000,000 copies and boosted Rosemary almost overnight to national stardom...

When he produced threatening letters to prove it was the work of his enemies, he was charged with perjury. A jury acquitted him on both charges, while his congregation filled the courtroom to sing The Old-Time Religion...
...himself from the pulpit of the Springfield, Ill. Presbyterian Church. Departing from the Scripture to comment on current events, the Rev. Richard Graebel thundered that Republican Senator Everett Dirksen's statement that Stevenson was the worst Illinois governor of the 20th century was "a blatant lie." Said Pastor Graebel later: he was not aware that the governor was in his church...
