Most of Barry Goldwater's top political aides are hardy types who can cuss in Navajo or quaff bourbon with the best of them. Among these, Denison Kitchel, 56, a wispy, introverted, hard-of-hearing mining-industry lawyer seems as out of place as a Boy Scout on a bronco. Yet Kitchel served as Goldwater's pre-convention campaign manager and will undoubtedly continue to be, in Barry's own words, "my head honcho...
Beyond a doubt, St. Louis is back from the brink. In many ways, its people have changed little. They still quaff their suds at the rate of 28 gal. per year per person, root for the Cardinals, thrive on sauerbraten, like to remember that their town produced T. S.

While confronting the public with such unanimity, however, the dairy industry is divided by an argument about a very fundamental issue: Is the industry in trouble...
...defeat Fred Seaton, President Eisenhower's Interior Secretary. "Nebraska has the lowest per capita tax rate of any of the 50 states," he said. "I would like to see it remain so." Moreover, he had not lost the humble humor that makes him popular. Interrupting his speech to quaff a cup of water, he quipped: "I was raised in Kansas and never completely recovered from being...
