...refusal to come home? "This is a sad commentary on the state of American politics. A Lodge victory in Oregon would mean a victory for Madison Avenue; it would have a decided effect on American politics. Campaigning would become completely Madison Avenue-ized." Said Goldwater with a wan smile: "I'm very interested in a trip to Tahiti, so if the Lodge approach works, then I'll go to Tahiti and campaign...
...Cheerful Smile. The little man who has wound the Bulletin's fateful clock for all its 18 years is unbothered. From his jaunty blue beret down past his ineffaceably cheerful smile to his ground-hugging overcoat, Eugene Rabinowitch, 63, bears small resemblance to a prophet of doom.

Talks were under way aimed at arranging a conference this week between the faction leaders, namely Souvanna Phouma, his half brother Pathet...
...Life itself survives its detractors: "I think of some plumber who, waked by the rain, will smile at a vision of the world in which all the drains are miraculously cleaned and free . . . I think that the rain will wake some old lady, who will wonder if she has left her copy of Dombey and Son in the garden. Her shawl? Did she cover the chairs? And I know that the sound of the rain will wake some lovers, and that its sound will seem to be a part of that force that has thrust them into one another...
