...should not seek office." A politically wise friend sees the Lausche strategy in another light. The governor, he thinks, has laid a tender trap. "He's a little like the bachelor who has made peace with the opposite sex. He's not going to send a dozen roses, or a 5-lb. box of candy, or buy box seats at the opera. He has decided that the only thing to do is just to let 'em know he's available...
Instead of a show of solidarity, the air was full of complaints and refusals. Pakistanis said sulkily that the invitation had come too late for them to send troops, complained privately of being left out of the original planning. New Zealanders felt the same way. That left SEATO looking embarrassingly like an all-U.S. tiger-as critics have charged it was all along. At week's end, Australia and Britain gallantly swallowed their pride, and rustled up a handful of naval vessels to join this week's maneuvers. On its first trial run, SEATO was creaking badly...
Guided by Weather Bureau scientists, every Government agency that can take a hand is planning to help the National Hurricane Research Project. From Trinidad to Florida, 27 stations will launch weather balloons and record the radio reports on the weather they pass through. The Air Force will send flying laboratories into each hurricane.

How often it must be impaired by the eyes of the unfeeling and the cruelty of the impotent who would extend their affliction universally...
Most Southern news executives have adopted a buck-passing rule of thumb: When in doubt about a racial story, use the press-association copy. For example, in the Autherine Lucy riots, papers in nearby Birmingham were the only out-of-town dailies in the South to send their own staffers to Tuscaloosa to cover the story. Sometimes papers lean on the wire services for racial news even in their own areas. When one major daily recently got tips of forthcoming antisegregation statements by religious leaders, it passed the word along quietly to a wire service instead of going after...
