Horrible Example. While Martin was trying to smooth things out, Dick Nixon was trying to stir things up. He was confronted by a distressing situation in Ohio's Taftland, where the G.O.P.'s gusty Senate Candidate George Bender probably has a slight edge over Cleveland Democrat Tom Burke, but is running a poor second in public interest to the Cleveland Indians. So far Bender has failed to whistle up even a mild breeze of enthusiasm. In Republican state headquarters, where some 60 paid employees bustled about two years ago, a bare 20 were on duty last week.

...hurly-burly world of real estate, no one fancies himself a bigger operator than smooth-talking William Zeckendorf, president of Manhattan's Webb & Knapp. Says Zeckendorf: "I like to turn peanuts into bananas." Last week, reaching out for a new piece of fruit, Top-Banana Zeckendorf bumped into another big operator. In the collision, Zeckendorf's feet went skidding out from under.
