...highly relevant to a campaigner for the presidency) beset him: his voice was flat; he looked like an old man on TV because his light hair and eyebrows did not show up, giving an impression of blankness; his rimless glasses registered as two blobs of light on the TV screen. Reluctantly he submitted to make-up for TV performances. (An Eisenhower staffer found a make-up man who had been a paratrooper; this reassured Ike, whose tables of organization had never before included a male beautician.) He discarded his glasses and exchanged them for a dark-rimmed pair, which...

K.A.U. (membership: 100,000) ostensibly seeks home rule for Kenya, but is more likely a screen for Communist and anti-Christian propaganda among Kenya's 5,000,000 blacks.

On the air, he displays an almost manic cheerfulness; as he capers about the stage, shoots his eyebrows, winks roguishly at lady contestants and bares a toothy smile, he lights up the TV screen like rhinestone jewelry. Last week hardworking Parks added Double or Nothing (Mon., Wed., Fri., 2 p.m., CBS-TV) to the list of giveaway shows (Stop the Music, Break the Bank) on which he has given away yachts, swimming pools, mink coats, scholarships and round-the-world cruises with all the abandon...
