Adlai stood gingerly on the temporary stand and said, "The only thing as shaky as this is the Republican platform." He thanked the crowd for its hospitality and atempted to reach his car behind a cordon of state troopers, as party workers screamed, "Foster: What happened to Furcolo...
...fast-rising young politician, the 39-year-old Richards has built up his popularity by handshaking his way eight times from the Mexican border to Oregon. He smoothly tailors his extemporaneous talks to the needs of the occasion, e.g. before a Los Angeles luncheon club, he blasted Republican foreign policy; in a pitch for the Portuguese-American vote, he urged upward revision of McCarran-Walter Act immigration quotas; before a San Francisco Bay Negro organization, he attacked Kuchel for voting for Senator James Eastland's confirmation as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee (a routine vote on organization...

Rolling down the brand-new Kansas Turnpike that will be officially opened this week. Wyoming's unwary Republican Governor Milward L. Simpson forgot that the fancy road comes to a dead end at the Oklahoma state line. His car hurtled off the concrete into an Oklahoma wheat field. The only one of five riders to be hurt was the governor's wife Lorna, who had forgotten to fasten her safety belt, but escaped with slight cuts and bruises...
