Said Liberal Leader Lester Pearson: "It is clear that the Tory government has been decisively rejected" But even though Diefenbaker had lost 85 seats, the election message was by no means that clear. The Liberals had had strong hopes of winning, but only succeeded in climbing from 51 seats...
They swept the big cities, particularly Montreal and traditionally Conservative Toronto, but the prairies held fast for Diefenbaker, the small-town prairie lawyer, whose $425 million grain deal with Red China has helped the farmers prosper.

...George Cinq, at Moustache's fragrant bistro on the Left Bank, and at the Hotel Californian bar, Parisians and Americans alike were equally incredulous.

Carl Andersen, last week on the House floor, attacked Washington Columnist Drew Pearson, who had written about Andersen's involvement in the Billie Sol Estes scandal (TIME cover, May 25). Andersen, senior Republican on the House subcommittee on agricultural appropriations, is so far the only Republican in Congress to be seriously tarnished by the Estes case: he took $4,000 from Estes for stock in a coal mine owned by the Andersen family...
