...Cover) Behind wailing police sirens, a cream-colored Cadillac sped into Abbeville, La. from the dusty airport, rolled on past the white-columned courthouse, and pulled up in front of the Candlelight Restaurant. Missouri's Senator Stuart Symington unfolded his long (6 ft. 2 in., 183 lbs.), well-tailored frame from a rear seat and, ringed by Louisiana politicos, strode inside to start shaking hands. As photographers flashed away, Abbeville's Mayor Roy Theriot bounced forward to get his picture taken with Symington and Louisiana's own Senator Allen Ellender. "I'm going to pose with...
...Episcopalian, he does not have to worry, as Kennedy does, about the widespread conviction that a Roman Catholic cannot be elected President. As a politician who has run for high public office twice and won twice, he does not carry Adlai Stevenson's stigma of past defeats. Though he has voted a straight liberal line in the U.S. Senate-certified and approved by Americans for Democratic Action-he has escaped the 200-proof-liberal label that afflicts Hubert Humphrey.

Without offering any proof, Parisian newsmen contrived a more devious explanation: that Leftist Mitterrand and Rightist Pesquet. equally eager to discredit the regime of Gaullist Premier Michel Debre, could have collaborated in the mutual hope of toppling Debre and with the common intention of doublecrossing each other after the deed was done...
Beautiful Head. Twenty years ago, Trieste was second only to Genoa among Italian ports; today it is eighth. Trieste's maritime traffic has dropped 25% in the past two years, and rail traffic is less than half the 1957 rate. More than 17,000 Triestini (12% of the labor force) are unemployed, and the number of "disguised unemployed"-their livelihood provided by government make-work projects-is steadily increasing...
