...Prelude. Ike was not exactly warm toward Goldwater, who in 1960 had labeled the Eisenhower Administration "a dime-store New Deal." Still, he declined to become part of a stop-Goldwater movement. On May 14 Eisenhower told newsmen he would support "whoever is nominated," and the next day he appeared on national television to say that "I personally believe that Goldwater-Senator Goldwater-is not as extreme as some people have made him. But, in any event, we are all Republicans...
...shows, G.E.'s Carousel of Progress is one of the most frankly commercial, but it is so studded with million-dollar gimcracks that it is worth seeing. Six audiences watch it at once, revolving in their seats to stop in front of segment after segment of a central stage. The star is a man who looks like Lowell Thomas full of formaldehyde.

By some miracle, five of the drivers survived. Eddie Sachs was trapped in his cockpit; he was dead from the flames by the time rescuers reached him. MacDonald died two hours later in a hospital...
Required for cloture: two-thirds of the Senators who are "present and voting." Thus, if all 100 Senators were present, 67 votes would be needed to stop the Democratic filibuster against the civil rights bill. The bill's bipartisan supporters say that now that they have presented the package of Dirksen-sculptured amendments, they will have the necessary votes when a cloture petition is filed, probably by the middle of this month. Georgia's Senator Richard Russell, leader of the filibuster forces, makes "no claim as to being able to beat the gag rule." If the bipartisan coalition...
