Cooling Spaghetti. Kennedy pointed out that his coming into Ohio should not split the state party: Di Salle himself is not facing reelection, nor is there a Senate contest in 1960. Di Salle acknowledged that Kennedy was well liked in the state (he has made speeches in all major cities, and polls show him out ahead as the favorite 1960 Democrat). Also, it was obvious that Kennedy's Catholicism would be no handicap in Ohio, since Mike Di Salle and U.S. Senator and longtime (1945-56) Governor Frank Lausche, both Catholics, have rolled up big majorities in the past...
Boosted and backed by New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, a young lawyer who lives in a split-level home in a New York City suburb won election last week as speaker of the New York state assembly, ending the traditional hold (69 years) of powerful upstate G.O.P. forces on the job.

You can be sure of my full confidence in you as a politician and as a man ... I gratefully...
...circumstance," Rogers recorded laconically, "put us in some consternation." But the Rangers pushed on, slogged for nine straight days through a vast spruce bog. Sacking the Indian town was comparatively easy, but the journey back to Crown Point was harrowing. The corn supply quickly ran out, and the Rangers, split into small hunting parties, were easy prey to the aroused Indians. At one point, faint with hunger, a detachment of Rangers found the bodies of comrades butchered by the Indians, and ate them raw. Rogers, as usual, survived (49 others died) and commented simply: "I had the good fortune...
