Robert Mills McClintock, 48, U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon. Seattle-born, Stanford educated ('31), Bob McClintock fell in love with the Foreign Service during a college trip to Europe, joined up in 1931, rose through the global ranks to the Policy-Planning Staff as specialist on Southeast Asia. Assigned by President Eisenhower last year to crowded, humid Beirut, spruce and able Ambassador McClintock ran a polished show, still found time to keep trim with push-ups and strolls at the far end of his black poodle's leash. As Lebanon drifted toward civil war, he was credited with recommending...
Joint Chiefs of Staff. The J.C.S., elevated to new operational status, in effect commands the armed forces under the President and the Defense Secretary. Recognizing this broadened role, the bill enlarges the J.C.S.'s Joint Staff from 210 officers to 400, and, while shying from any idea of a general staff, effectively makes the J.C.S. chairman more powerful than he had ever been by giving him power to assign duties to the Joint Staff.

Steelman, of President Truman's White House staff, to wrangle approval on a $12 million RFC loan, Goldfine relished the answer: "I was more at the White House at that time than I was since Governor Sherman Adams was at the White House...
...picture emerged: racketeers have cut a slice of Chicago's restaurant unions and intend, unless balked, to expand into a boundless labor empire. Their plan is brutally simple: sell the café proprietor "protection" from legitimate unionization and collect monthly "dues" from him for a fragment of his staff-a fragment that rarely knows it has been organized. The weapons are terror, extortion and violence, wielded in many cases by rod-packing remnants of the late Al Capone's mob. Items offered in evidence at last week's hearings...
