Jenner is Jenner and Morse is Morse, and never the twain should meet. But last week Oregon's eyebrowed, highbrowed, liberal Democrat Wayne Morse rose in the Senate to blast the $3.6 billion foreign-aid authorization bill and found himself shoulder to shoulder not only with those strapping Neanderthal Republicans, Indiana's Bill Jenner and Nevada's Molly Malone, but with Georgia Democrat Herman Talmadge too. And when the bill came to a vote after three days of debate, they stood together as part of a notable rear-view rear guard of 25 (see box), roundly beaten...

The demonstrations ranged from over-the-shoulder simulated A-bomb tosses to napalm drops, from missile launching to night take-offs and landings. One ensign had trouble with his approaches, was waved away three times before making it on the fourth try. Said the President: "Bet the poor kid was crying his eyes out."

He seems a bit closer to sixty years old than to forty. His next scene, with The Little Miss, is somewhat slow and less smooth--shoulder-kneading can be awkward--but Gail Jones is exactly as virtuous a coquette as she should be. She succeeds again opposite John van Itallie, as The Poet, in a particularly fresh scene. Her indignantly stating "I'm not stupid," delays things a bit; he, delighted, waves back "Of course...
