...stood elbow to elbow one evening last week, each intent upon the other. While cocktail-party chatter echoed in other rooms, John George Diefenbaker, the Prime Minister of Canada, talked, gestured, sipped from a glass of orange juice.

Salinger's hero of The Catcher in the Rye. He has youth's uncertain arrogance ("Girls drool over me") and its superstitions (a jigger of beer drunk at 15-minute intervals will make you drunk) and its wisdom: "It's what you call things that matter to families...
...feed grains in the soil bank, farm-area Democrats defeated a plan to raise corn acreage limits 14 million acres, lower the support price 5? a bu. but require corn farmers to take soil-bank payments on some cropland. But the rural Democrats' move to include oats, barley, rye and sorghum in the soil bank was knocked down by a coalition of Republicans and city Democrats fearful of the extra cost ($500 million to $1 billion a year...
