Congressional District, whose seven counties cover 4,827 sq. mi. from the Red River to Dallas County. Publicly grumpy, egg-bald Sam Rayburn in private is gentle and old-school courteous, presides over the House, at $45,000 per year, with a strange and astute mixture of paternalism and institutionalism. Sam Rayburn has made the House his home, its members his family...
Last week Texans walking through the new Cullinan Hall found it good. The building is supported by four 82-ft.-long girders above the roof, leaving 10,000 sq. ft. of column-free space beneath a 30-ft. ceiling.

Says an officer of the Chamber of Trade and Industry, "We live by our hands and by our brains-and by other peoples' moods." Down inside, no West Berliner living in 186 sq. mi. of freedom no miles inside the Iron Curtain, can be indifferent to other people's moods, particularly "out there," as West Berliners call West Germany. In Bonn last week, before setting out for Berlin, Adenauer had summoned Socialist Opposition leaders for a rare visit to his Chancellery. All joined...
