...July 23, 1959, after two days of confused debate, the Senate voted, 49-42, to recomit the Kennedy-Clark bill to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, with, said Kennedy, "the understanding that we would reconsider the legislation." In the coming session of Congress, the two Senators plan a change in tactics as they again "press for the enactment" of their bill. "It may be necessary to separate consideration" of the loyalty affidavit and the disclaimer affidavit, Kennedy indicated, for "there is much wider support for the deletion" of the latter...

...Americans." Mingling on the dance floor of the Whisky a Gogo at Cannes or in a bull session at the University of Geneva (where less than half the students are Swiss), the new Europeans look alike, regardless of nationality. And they look quite unlike their parents. Middle-aged Germans, with a mixture of pride and apprehension, refer to their long-legged, Levi-clad kids as "our young Americans."

They cite one patient who began hiccuping after hospital treatment for a coronary occlusion, failed to respond to a wide range of conventional treatments (e.g., drugs, sedation, nerve stimulation). After one session of deep hypnosis, the attacks stopped.

Cole rapidly began to build his own team-the team that was to build Corvair -and he laid plans to triple Chevy's 851-man engineering staff. Just a few weeks after Cole moved in, G.M. held a top executive planning session, and Board Chairman Alfred Sloan Jr. demanded unexpectedly: "What about Chevy?" It was the kind of moment that every aggressive young executive dreams about. Cole replied with cool confidence: "I just happen to have some plans for expanding Chevrolet engineering, and I'm ready to show them any time you wish." G.M. appreciates that kind...
