...strong and expensive law-and-order campaign by incumbent Republican Senator Ralph Smith in Illinois failed to make a difference in his race with Adlai Stevenson III. Stevenson moved considerably towards the right during the campaign, plugging his war experiences and displaying a flag-pin in his lapel-and this evidently enabled him to hold on to his early campaign lead.

One of its most useful functions remains as a place for hostile big powers to meet and, if they so desire, to use U.N. machinery to carry out the results...
Dick Cavett has long been the Adlai Stevenson of television. He is a cultivated wit who could not bring himself to talk down to anyone or get anyone to pick up his option. ABC, to its credit, kept giving Cavett another chance-three times in different talkshow slots...
