Congratulations on your fine Jack Kennedy story. It is his "independent voting record" which sells me on the fact that he is the only American who can fill the shoes of Dwight Eisenhower. Who gives a damn whether he's a Democrat or Republican, Catholic or Presbyterian...
...orders, saves his advice for the President's ear, has already used this influence to fan in the President a more informed interest in scientific projects. Said a White House aide last week: "Science has never before been given that kind of attention at that level." ¶Ohio Republicans, who thought things would start going their way once they got popular Democrat Frank Lausche out of the statehouse and into the U.S. Senate, are wringing their hands over 1958 prospects. Bumbling G.O.P. Governor C. William O'Neill will probably be challenged in the Republican primary...
...well-honed gibes at such unlikely targets as the Chamber of Commerce, complacent businessmen, Scripps-Howard's Rocky Mountain News and the powerful Denver Post. Gene Cervi, 50, onetime Colorado State Democratic Chairman, and a graduate of both Denver dailies, of late has concentrated his fire on Republican Mayor Will F.

When he died last week in Rochester at 81, long-ailing Frank Gannett not only owned...
...when other Gannett papers (nearly all in solid Republican territory) supported Tom Dewey for President, Gannett's Independent Democratic Hartford (Conn.) Times (circ. 120,182) backed Truman; in 1952, when Gannett backed Taft, the Times and most other papers in the group boomed Eisenhower. His Independent Republican Binghamton (N.Y.) Press (circ. 64,562), one of the best small-city newspapers in the U.S., has lately made a habit of supporting Democrats for mayor. During a state election campaign in which several of his papers had gone counter to Gannett's publicly expressed views, F.E.G., as he was called...
