...Cuss Word. Despite his success as a Democratic politician, Lausche is the despair of Ohio's professional Democrats, most of whom he loudly classifies as "bosses." In 1950, when his loyal supporter, State Auditor Joe Ferguson, ran for the U.S. Senate, Lausche made it quite plain that he thought Republican Robert A. Taft was a much better man (Taft beat Ferguson by 450,000 votes while Lausche was being re-elected Governor by 150,000). Since 1952, Lausche has been unstinting in his praise of Republican Dwight Eisenhower, only last week said in a speech that Eisenhower has brought...
...support comes from the South, which, since Al Smith in 1928, has had a reputation-perhaps undeserved -of being dead set against Catholic candidates for the Presidency. Others note that he has rarely made public appearances outside Ohio and is not well-known nationally. But last week the Cleveland Plain Dealer, writing out of long experience with Frank Lausche as a vote-getter, was only half-joking when it expressed an editorial opinion: "Lausche would be a sure winner if the Democrats nominated him because he would get more than half the Democratic votes and nearly all the Republican...
...only way Japan can tap China's coal and iron is to trade strategic items, now banned under the embargoes, rather than consumer goods.

Others bore the telltale serial number "00001" of a first model. (To meet a commitment to deliver textiles and electrical appliances to Indonesia this year, Peking...
...with his scruples about 90% of parity, and won. In New York last week, he conferred with Minnesota's Senator Hubert Humphrey, a leader of the farm-state Democrats, who hope to organize a "green uprising" against the G.O.P. at the polls next November. The Midwesterners made it plain that their support depended on Stevenson's acceptance of 90% of parity, and he came through...
...girl comes to visit her mother, who years before ran off with another man. She comes arrogantly, with her chin set and her lips cold. As her mother, stepfather and some neighborhood young people do everything they can to thaw Bridget out and win her over, it becomes plain that she not only resents her mother. Her relations with her father are also twisted, her whole life is lonely and askew, her disdains are defensive, her withdrawals constitute flight. What she needs, of course, is love, and there is no lack of it at curtainfall...
