Plans to Stay Out. Humphrey pooh-poohed the results, saying that they would have been "a little different" if he had been an active contender. No doubt. But Humphrey is directly involved in none of the forthcoming primaries, and the "unauthorized" Nebraska write-in campaign on his behalf clearly bombed. Humphrey visited Nebraska four days before the primary, seemingly inviting votes. Now he plans to stay out of Oregon, California and South Dakota until those primaries are over. McCarthy, who is on the ballot against Kennedy in the three remaining contests, vows to fight it out, spurning the New Yorker...
...practically everyone; he sprang Mickey Spillane on the world (seven biggest sellers: 34.6 million copies), published Mountain Climber Maurice Herzog's classic Annapurna, Lawrence Durrell's The Alexandria Quartet, and Evgeny Evtushenko's Selected Poems. His great friend was A. A. Milne, whose whimsical Winnie-the-Pooh sold more than 1,000,000 copies and appeared in a dozen languages-including a pirated Russian translation (Vinni-Pukh i vse-vse-vse), which Macrae happily pirated right back last year and printed for publication...
Smith & Keynes. Galbraith's defenders pooh-pooh much of the criticism as little more than naked envy. "His tremendous vogue is very annoying to many university economists," observes the University of California's (La Jolla) Seymour Harris, a onetime Harvard colleague.

...hopes will be a combat post in Viet Nam. Meanwhile, they can catalogue their copious supply of wedding gifts, including a $6,770 silver tea and coffee service from the Washington diplomatic corps, a nest of teak tables from Chiang Kaishek, a color sketch of Eeyore by Winnie-the-Pooh Illustrator Ernest Shepard (Lynda is a Pooh buff), and-from Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett Mc-Kinley Dirksen, of course-a small silver elephant...
Though the late Adlai E. Stevenson has also been posthumously characterized by antiwar dissenters as an ardent dove on Viet Nam and a pooh-pooher of the theory that China may one day endanger the U.S., the fact is that he shared J.F.K.'s views to a striking extent. In a memorandum written in November 1964, eight months before his death, Stevenson warned: "The principal threat to world peace and Western security in the foreseeable future will almost certainly be Communist China." As China's nuclear-supported military strength and prestige grew, he predicted, "it will use that...
