...race for national survival. In a bracing new book on Congress and the American Tradition (Henry Regnery; $6.50), a conservative political philosopher speaks up this week in Congress' defense. The defender: muscular-minded James Burnham, 53, former New York University philosophy professor who made a still-rippling intellectual splash back in 1941 with The Managerial Revolution...
Status with a Splash. These last week were typical members of the new fast-growing brotherhood of the sea. In Florida and Kentucky, in Illinois and Texas, in Oregon and Nevada and Georgia-wherever land stops and water begins, and even where the water's edge is a day's journey-U.S. families were caught with boat fever.

...Kooning's "own image" will still leave a lot of viewers floundering in the broad, thick brush strokes and paint splatters.

Five-thirty was the cocktail hour for the Dulleses, "Jerry" Greene and Dr. Kamin-one shot of Old Overholt rye with a splash of water for Dulles, for Mrs. Dulles a martini. In the evenings the Dulleses dined alone (typical menu: consommé, chipped beef on toast, cake), afterward played backgammon. Since 1932, Janet and Foster have kept a notebook record of their backgammon scores. Last week Janet Dulles fell even farther behind...
