...complete agreement on Tony's raise. At the meeting-attended by no more than 400 of the local's 14,000 members-40 Teamsters were against Tony in a stand-up vote. One challenged him to submit the raise to a secret ballot of all members. In retrospect, Tony himself seemed to be having second thoughts about whether he should take the raise. His position is already precarious with many of his men. He managed to win re-election as president by only a narrow margin last December, though even a narrow win was obviously enough to give...
Actually, one can cavil only in retrospect at de los Angeles' choice of music, for even an old concert-favorite like Scarlatti's Le Violette pleases us anew when clothed in such velvety beauty of sound as the Spanish soprano produced last Wednesday. Still more noteworthy--because less expected--was the increased command which de los Angeles seems recently to have developed over the realm of German lieder.

And they quote that "non-admiring official" as saying: "He wanted to trade the Turkish, Italian and British missile bases for the Cuban bases." In the post-mortem speculation about who that official might have been, many fingers were pointed at Acheson, whose dislike for Stevenson is notorious. But Acheson coolly and flatly denied it. Said he: "I do not know to this day what Adlai Stevenson's position was, and I don't care...
