...Alaska's first native-born Governor, watched intently as one by one the Congressmen below called out their votes. A few minutes later, the House passed the Alaska statehood bill. Stepovich glanced at his wife, sitting a few seats away, and broke into a broad, gold-tipped smile...
...John A. Baker Jr., 30, second secretary in the U.S. Moscow embassy, Russian history prior to 1800 seemed a safe, non-controversial subject when he applied last fall for a spare-time course at Moscow University. A friendly, strapping (6 ft. 4 in.) Yaleman ('49) with an infectious smile, Russian-speaking John Baker soon began to get invitations to student parties and to student homes, returned the social obligations by digging up tickets to U.S.-Soviet athletic events for his Russian friends. "I never volunteered any information," said Baker, "but when they asked questions, I answered them...

To the honky-tonk strains of One for My Baby, McGraw (he has no first name, is played by Frank Lovejoy) loose-jointedly saunters into view, occasionally raking his sinewy fingers through his crew-cut hair.

But as the offers came pouring in, he began...
...with a big smile is American Motors President George Romney, whose boxy Rambler is the only U.S. entry in the small-car race and whose sales are racing ahead. Says Romney: "We are in the beginning phase of a real revolution in the automobile market. Finally, the big-car mentality has disintegrated." This week Romney pushed production up another 6% to put it 26% ahead of 1957. American's first-quarter sales were the greatest in its history (31,260 cars), and, after years of red ink, it reported a handsome $2,380,895 profit. Yet Romney...
