Soon after Herter got back to the U.S., he had to listen to some fervent urging himself: a group of top Massachusetts Republicans insisted that it was his party duty to run for Governor against brass-lunged Democrat Paul Dever. Herter protested angrily: he liked his job and his prospects on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, did not much care to give it up for a long-shot chance at an office that he did not really want. But in the end he agreed to run. Boston bookmakers gave odds as long as 10 to 3 against...
...over the years, as in his bareknuckle campaign against Paul Dever, Herter has shown that, when he needs it, he has a streak of stern resolution beneath the gentle surface. In politics he was, a Massachusetts Democratic politico admiringly recalls, "a real Yankee trader who'd give you an apple for an orchard and make you think you got a good deal."

"But in each case." explained candid Ticket-Splitter Butler, "I have always prayed for forgiveness...
...Stiffly at first, the class waggles fingers, wrists, arms and spines in a ragged ballet of calisthenics, then switches to vocal knee-bends: OHO, OHO; AHA, AHA; ZZZZHH, ZZZZHH ; UMPAH, UMPAH; OOOOH, OOOOH. The personage in whose honor the morning rites are performed is abrupt, autocratic, rumpled Professor Paul Baker, 47, head of Baylor University's department of dramatics. In the judgment of Actor Charles Laughton, an old friend, Baker is "crude, arrogant, irritating, nuts and a genius." He is also one of the most effective college teachers in the country...
