...Soft Snore. A dull, droning speaker at best, Thurmond began by reading the texts of the election laws of all 48 states-from Alabama to Wyoming. By 11:30, Republican Everett Dirksen was passing the word: "Boys, it looks like an all-nighter." But at 1 a.m. Arizona Republican Barry Goldwater approached Thurmond's desk, asked in a whisper how much longer Strom would last. Back came the answer: "About another hour." Goldwater asked that Thurmond temporarily yield the floor to him for an insertion in the Congressional Record. Thurmond happily consented-and used the few-minute interim...
...damages for physical injuries suffered in international flights unless the claimant can prove willful misconduct. By thus voting public funds to correct the restriction of a U.S. citizen's rights by treaty, the House took legislative notice of an inequity so far generally overlooked by Ohio's Republican Senator John Bricker and his Bricker Amendment followers. Also voted: $33,236 for Gypsy Markoff, injured in the same crash. ¶ Cited, in the House, three Un-American Activities Committee witnesses for contempt of Congress. The three-a radio broadcaster, a radio operator and a Western Union service writer...
...China Hands. Other editors were quick to agree with the Trib. South Dakota's Republican Sioux Falls Argus Leader (circ. 51,575), which has sent staffers to Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other Iron Curtain countries, protested that Secretary Dulles' built-in discrimination against enterprising smaller papers "is intolerable under the American press system."

Neanderthal Republican Loeb (TIME, May 20), who frequently vents his spleen in terrible-tempered Page One editorials, e.g., an attack on President Eisenhower headed "Dopey Dwight," happily stepped up his press runs to 90,000 daily and 100,000 on Sunday and reported a sellout. The Boston-published Christian Science Monitor, which has a separate verbal contract with the mailers, was unaffected by the strike. After...
...with azure blue eyes, brown hair drawn taut in a bun, and a little-girl air of gravity. A passionately liberal Democrat, she is known as one of the shrewdest, scrappiest literary agents (annual income: about $30,000) in Manhattan, handling a stable of topflight authors, including rock-solid Republican James Gould Cozzens. Their childless marriage has been a remarkable success. While he stuck to his writing and made little money from it, she was the real breadwinner. Says Cozzens: "It could have been a humiliating situation, but I guess I had a certain native conceit and felt that...
