...canoe capsizes, and the two wobbly whippersnappers are flung into the river, washed over a waterfall. When at last they struggle ashore, pup and cub are alone in the great north woods, far from human help but entirely too close for comfort-they are tied together by a six-foot leather leash...
...tireless herald of friendship and cooperation among nations," as Pravda called him, had not been so gay since he gave up heavy drinking. Flying direct from Vienna, he arrived just in time to greet Indonesia's wide-roaming President Sukarno, whom he presented with a car and a six-foot bronze statue of a Soviet sportswoman.

But the appointment will at least flash the six-foot, well-bred (Yale '24) image of Chester Bowles before the convention delegates and onto the nation's TV screens. That will be more important for Bowles than for Kennedy. Reason: out of nowhere in the wide-open race, Bowles has become the darkest dark horse for the Democratic nomination. Bowles-for-President groups have sprung up in points as far apart as California...
