Tentatively admitting the John Birches to his petrified forest, Columnist Westbrook Pegler, 67, applauded their "Impeach Earl Warren" slogan ("I think this is an impractical idea but a worthy emotion"), but noted that he had personally "abstained from joining the society because it might not be far enough to the right." Equally abstemious, for different reasons, was another vintage journalist, California Rancher Thomas M. Storke, 84, who for 61 years has been editor-publisher of the Santa Barbara News-Press. To counter Big Bircher Robert Welch's $2,300 college essay contest on reasons why Warren should be impeached...
Britain has long had a vocal minority of unilateralists on the Left. In the atomic age, war to them seems senseless for any cause-even their own freedom-as is evidenced by their slogan, "I'd rather be Red than dead." Inevitably too, anti-German prejudice persists. In Swansea fortnight ago, 300 marchers demonstrated against the NATO plan to train West German Panzer units in Wales this fall.

Then he traveled to London for the eye-straightening operation that would have been denounced as silly vanity during the campaign, but was accepted as necessary for the President of a proud nation. He stayed away twelve weeks, so long that Brazilians coined their own slogan: "Where's Jânio?" But when he returned, only eleven days before inauguration, he was ready for action, complete with an imposing Cabinet of Brazil's best planners, builders, and conservative penny pinchers...
...York," the city's Convention and Visitors Bureau heard itself say for the eighth straight year, "is a summer festival." As the humidity mounted on the sticky streets, the egregious slogan was resurreced at an air-conditioned Waldorf-Astoria luncheon, and a new queen was anointed by the mayor. Unable to locate a sinuous native girl to lend a straight face to the propaganda, the Visitors Bureau tapped radiant California-born Model Peggy Jacobsen, 22, summoned its hard-selling ex-president, Midtown Merchant Bernard Gimbel, to seal the deal with a kiss. Whatever his pitch may be, this...
