Faubus is running in the primaries against five other Democrats, and the two who are giving him trouble are both old Faubus allies. One is moderate Sid Mc-Math, Governor from 1949 to 1953, who broke with Faubus over the Little Rock episode; the other is Congressman Dale Alford, a strong segregationist who had filed for his candidacy under the impression that Faubus would not run (Faubus' ulcer was kicking up) and is now campaigning against Faubus' long incumbency and against integration as well.

Comedy is having a comeback, and some of television's great names are returning after doleful absences.

She is even funny away from the camera...
