Charlie Halleck is a true son of a state famed for its political gut fighting. By general tradition, an Indiana infant's first gurgles can be freely translated as: "I do not seek public office, but if in their wisdom the people see fit to elect me, then . . ." Rensselaer (pop. 5,500) is Halleck's boyhood town, a farming village in the northwest part of the state that inspired the song Back Home Again in Indiana. The seat of table-flat Jasper County, Rensselaer is as Republican as Vermont and twice as tough. Charlie's father. Lawyer...
...Four public meetings at Geneva were certainly getting nowhere. Neither did the first of their private talks, 15,000 feet over the Atlantic.

It is 'in' to open your house to the public, but you must say, 'Oh, what a bore this is.' " Land is important to all ins, "but only an out would inquire the number of acres. Instead, one asks: 'How many days' shooting have you?' The reply, 'Four first days,' means about...
...responsible for the new constitution, stood firm against this challenge. Freely admitting that as a Senator during the Fourth Republic, he had himself been "a master of the art" of Tunisification, he added: "Yet I was wrong." He boldly pitched his argument to the widespread French anxiety, rarely expressed publicly, about what happens after President de Gaulle leaves the scene. "To guarantee the future of democracy in France," at a time when Parliament itself is discredited in the public mind, Parliament must not assert its "harassing" power against the government.
