...behavior makes a strong appeal to nationalist leaders like Lumumba -he flew on to London. A passel of Fascist-minded Mosleyites picketed the Ritz Hotel where Lumumba stopped, and Ghana's High Commissioner in Britain, Sir Edward Asafu-Adjaye, was knocked down by two of the Mosleyites, whose slogan is "Keep Britain White!" Unscathed, as usual, Patrice Lumumba reached New York's Idlewild airport this week. Speaking to a dawn patrol of newsmen, Lumumba said softly that peace in Congo "is conditioned on the immediate withdrawal of Belgian troops," and offered his "compliments and friendship" to President Eisenhower...
...promote its slogan "Where there's life . . . there's Bud," the Anheuser-Busch brewery has spent $40 million. Last week it filed suit against the Chemical Corp. of America, which makes a floor wax that kills bugs too. Its complaint: the chemical company's new slogan-"Where there's life, there's bugs"-tended to "disparage" Budweiser.

With as little mention of how local committees are to provide the initiative for financing slum clearance and unemployment relief as the Democrats made of how their program of five per cent growth without taxes is to work, the platform restates a by now very familiar Republican rejection...
...coverage all the way. Spotting Zsa Zsa Gabor with Louisiana's deLesseps Morrison, he observed that Morrison "has just been defeated for Governor so he's got a lot of spare time now." When Lyndon Johnson accepted the vice-presidential nomination, Brinkley suggested that the slogan "All the way with L.B.J." should now read "Half the way with L.B.J." Cooped up in a loft. by 12-ft. glassed-in booth that looked as cramped as the cabin of a spaceship, Huntley and Brinkley muffled all organ tones, were obviously so complementary a pair-Brinkley the aperitif, Huntley...
