...with rumors about the Minnesota Senator's political and personal plans. The two, it was said, were entangled. Last week McCarthy, 53, made explicit an earlier ambiguous announcement by declaring he would not seek re-election to the Senate next year on any ticket in Minnesota. Columnist Drew Pearson primed Washington's gossip-go-round by reporting that McCarthy "has decided to make a complete break with the past and leave not only the Senate but his wife Abigail...
Much congressional reaction was bitter, and it seemed evident that he had hardened opposition to his Safeguard ABM plan into the bargain. Said Senator James Pearson, a Kansas Republican and an ABM foe: "I disagree with the President. I don't think it's isolationism to oppose excessive military spending."

Gordone has expertly oiled the sly and sassy tongues by which black puts down his fellow black, and the cast's phrasing of these expletives is impeccable...
...Ladies' Home Journal is editorially allergic to the Pill, and has published articles under such titles as "The Terrible Trouble with the Birth-Control Pills." McCall's has printed a review of dropouts, called "Why They Quit the Pill." Columnist Drew Pearson reported in his more than 600 subscribing newspapers that "at least 10% of all adverse-reaction reports are fatalities and that one-third of the recent reports on one specific pill involve death...
