...Back to stir for a year and a day went Bernard Goldfine, 70, onetime gift-giving crony of ex-Presidential Aide Sherman Adams. The Boston textile tycoon, who served three months for contempt of court last summer, was also fined $110,000 on a tax-evasion conviction, put on five years' probation with two requirements: payment of an estimated $5,000,000 in back taxes, and detailed explanation of his disposition of $600,000, said to have been handed to political pals...
...righteous disciplinary fervor the Administration closed down the "Poon establishment while officers scrambled to desert the sinking ship. Only the autumn before, the CRIMSON, Lampoon, and Life magazine had gone on sale in tandem at a combined price of $5.00, never again to be duplicated.

Such plus and minus national imbalance could only stir U.S. uneasiness as the President headed abroad.

Heard again, after a spell of hibernation, was the view that intervention in all cases is wrong on principle-a dangerous doctrine that could weaken the West in its struggle against Communism. Floating around the U.S. last week were "open letters" signed by 250 faculty members from 40-odd U.S. colleges and universities, ranging from...
Coop violated Hollywood tradition in only one way-he was married 27 years to the same woman. In 1959 he created something of a stir when he became a Roman Catholic. Not long ago, he talked to his old hunting pal Ernest Hemingway, who lay ill in Minnesota. Drawled the old cowboy: "I'll bet I reach the barn before you do." It was a line worthy of the Virginian, and only Coop himself could have topped it. A few weeks earlier, at a Friars Club dinner in his honor, he rose, carrying the secret of his cancer...
