...Never a Pundit. Swayze is also getting some belated recognition from the two mediums in which he worked for 20 years. Early this year, McNaught Syndicate hired Swayze to do a column called "New York," now appearing in 50 newspapers-a sentimental and often arch performance which reminds some readers of the folksy prose of the late O. O. Mclntyre. And last week, Swayze signed with Sponsor Raytheon (TV sets) for a 15-minute radio news program starkly entitled John Cameron Swayze...

It was neither "the main tide . . . running" nor the intuitive common sense of "the great mass of the people," as Pundit Walter Lippmann implied. But there was indeed "subterranean muttering," as the Alsop Brothers reported.
