Eight days earlier the fast and fancy three-year-old Andrea Doria- had departed her home port of Genoa and headed for Cannes, Naples and Gibraltar. Leaving the Rock, the 29,000-ton liner raced westward on her 101st Atlantic crossing. For Captain Piero Calamai and his crew it wa's; routine. For the businessmen, the priests and nuns returning from Rome, the Italian-Americans ending old-country visits, the immigrants bound for the golden shore, the crossing was an event...
...view from the apartment buildings that rim Chicago's lakefront is a pleasant, peaceful thing: the streams of cars on Lake Shore Drive, the narrow strips of green park, the rock-ribbed beaches, the glistening lake with its splashing bathers, and, in the distance, a crisp sail.

...Thiem, 59, began to turn up pay dirt, most other Chicago papers ignored his story. But by last week Thiem's digging had unearthed the biggest state scandal in years, spread it across Page One in Illinois papers from Waukegan to Cairo. Fearful that the scandal could rock Republican chances at the polls in November, Governor William Stratton last week ordered Auditor Hodge to 1) withdraw as a candidate for reelection, 2) double his surety bond (to $100,000) within 20 days or be fired...
