...white, air-conditioned Cadillac crunched into the driveway of the Governor's mansion in Baton Rouge, as the sirens of its motorcycle escort growled into silence. State troopers pushed a noisy crowd of 150 people back while a plainly sick old man emerged from the car, blinked bewilderedly at the crowd, then waved his hand. Earl K. Long, Governor of Louisiana, was in the state capital...
...life if he undertook any more strenuous activity. Waving them aside. Ole Earl resolutely took off in his DC-3 on a grueling Fourth of July speaking tour of four back-bayou towns, topped off with a "Miss Louisiana" beauty contest in the far northeastern corner of the state. Ole Earl was off and careening on his campaign trail for a fourth round in the Statehouse. The trail's end was not in sight, but Earl Long was set squarely on a tragic collision course, dragging the tottering Long dynasty and Louisiana behind...

Mike Di Salle plopped into an armchair, draped one hefty leg over the side and, with a trace of anger, said that he was mighty annoyed by a rash of Washington-datelined news stories saying that Kennedy was in Ohio for a showdown and would enter the state's presidential primary next May whether Di Salle liked it or not.

And nothing looked more key-or more appealing-than Ohio, with its cross section of Midwest industry and agriculture and its tradition of independent voting...
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...
