...nearly 17,000 votes to Los Angeles Councilman Edward Royhal, a liberal who plugged medicare. In a swirl of libel suits, the bitter campaign of Republican Edgar Hiestand and Los Angeles Councilman Everett Burkhalter centered around Hiestand's membership in the John Birch Society. Hiestand lost. Another Bircher, smooth-talking Republican John Rousselot, also found the society plus a new district a politically fatal combination, succumbed to Assemblyman Ronald Brooks Cameron...
...daughter Diane on his congressional payroll at $12,500 a year while she attended Georgetown University Law School. Carroll, a fumbling campaigner, was hardly a match for Dominick, who is almost as handsome as Love and every bit as good a speaker. Thus, with Jean Tool's smooth-working organization behind them, Love and Dominick cut deeply into the Democrats' Denver and Pueblo strongholds; both won going away...
...Boulevard salon. There and at her lavish Hollywood home she treated thousands of women and many men. When they went in, the skin on their aging faces was sagging and wrinkled.

But despite Wilkins' words, the hostility between the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and the N.A.A.C.P. is likely to deepen, especially after...
...characterized by squared-off lines, knife edges and wide rear pillars. (At Cobo Hall, Ford needled its rivals for their unabashed plagiarism with signs declaring that Ford has "the roof that tops them all.") A more subtle piracy from Ford is the copying of the Lincoln Continental's smooth slab sides by Buick. Oldsmobile and Pontiac. Chrysler, too, is expected to follow this trend next year, now that the 1961 Continental's designer, Elwood Engel, has been lured away to be Chrysler's styling chief...
