...declaration of conscience" attacking McCarthy's methods. Last November, when McCarthy spoke in Bangor and Portland, Jones was at his side and in his speeches ("A Maine boy who is making a name for himself," said Joe). Last month, Michigan's Republican Senator Charles Potter fired McCarthy's Maine boy as his research assistant after Jones 1) issued an unauthorized statement backing McCarthy in the Army affair and 2) continued to set up his campaign against Mrs. Smith. Last week Jones insisted that he is not a McCarthy candidate at all. But he took pains to classify...

(for Barnabas) Kaghan, a foundling whom Lucasta plans to marry. Lady Elizabeth...
...Hundred has become emulsified in cafe society's bottle. In Washington, the society of the cave-dwellers was sacrificed on the time clock of a U.S. Government that became too busy for measured elegance. But in Chicago, high society has survived almost intact from the days when Mrs. Potter Palmer led the elite around by her pearl rope necklace. Even in Chicago something has been lacking. Not in years-not, in fact, since the Palmer days of the '905-has Chicago had an acknowledged queen of society...
