...week's end hapless Bill Knowland flew into San Jose for a two-day meeting with 200 campaign workers, rolled up his sleeves for a detailed rehash of past failures and a grim, fight-to-the-finish discussion aimed at reorganizing scattered elements into a new working team...
...considerable professional success, these were difficult years for Ed Stone. His marriage to Orlean Vandiver of Montgomery, Ala., whom he had met in Venice during his student days, was drifting onto the rocks. Increasingly, Stone's life centered over his drafting board.

He described the inhabitants of Buckingham Palace as characters in "a royal soap opera," urged that the institution be refurbished...

The extra time not only allowed him to win back some doubting Republicans but stretched the Southern arguments too thin. Virginia's Smith could only send in additional orators to rehash the same old points. The atmosphere in the air-conditioned chamber gradually changed from interest to boredom to sweltering bitterness...
