...home town of Pekin, Ill., Everett McKinley Dirksen once wrote and directed Chinese Love, a riceball melodrama about the unrequited passion of one Sing Loo for the beauteous Pan Toy. The Washington house of Hugh Doggett Scott Jr., who took over as leader of the Senate Republican minority after Dirksen's death, is chockablock with chinoiserle, mainly from the T'ang Dynasty (A.D. 618-906). That slight Oriental connection is one of the few similarities between the two men. Where Dirksen was a conciliator, expert in sub rosa dealings with Democrats, Scott is an acerbic infighter who means...
...attractive mother of two, Mrs. Slominski is a more engaging version of Boston's Louise Day Hicks.* Her campaign refrain repeats themes of "law and order," "safe streets" and "no bus sing."

I don't know how you were inverted; no one alerted you." In "I'm So Tired" the Beatles sing, "You'd say I'm putting you on, but it's no joke, it's doing me harm." And my roommate looked up "Gideon" -mentioned in "Rocky Raccoon" -in his Smith's Bible Dictionary (p. 210), and found a reference to "the reluctant Asher...
...Find me in my field of grass," the Beatles sing in "Mother Nature's Son." And, in the picture collage included with the words to The Beatles there is a very strange picture, in the upper left corner, of Paul's head lying in a pool of water. There is also a weird photograph, not far from the lower right corner, in which a bespectacledman seems to be threatening a shuttered Paul...
