...candidate for the presidency. ¶From Washington, word leaked out that Favorite Son Brown might have his sights focused on a lesser prize. In a September conference with Lyndon Johnson, the peripatetic Brown said frankly that Johnson could never win the California primary, though he thought Missouri's Stuart Symington could. This was enough to start a cautious Symington-Brown boomlet, which Symington backers hope to push into a second stage next winter at a Symington testimonial dinner in Missouri-with Brown as the featured speaker and most favored veep. ¶In Norman, Okla., oil-rich Oklahoma Senator Robert...
Massachusetts' youthful Jack Kennedy, still the fustest-and fastest-running Democrat, busied himself flushing delegates' votes in the canebrakes of Louisiana, went north to work his way through Wisconsin and Illinois, and headed toward heavy speaking dates in California two weeks hence. Missouri's Stuart Symington was marching through Georgia, booked solidly ahead for shooting matches from Massachusetts to Florida over the next weeks. Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey scored an unexpected bull's-eye with the United Auto Workers in Atlantic City, pushed on to Denver. In Dallas, House Speaker Sam Rayburn, who customarily presides...
Missouri's Senator Stuart Symington stuck closely to one surefire issue-the steel strike. (The U.A.W. has given $1,000,000 to help the steel strikers.)

Saunders, who remains as boss of the surviving N. & W. could hail as a milestone. Said Saunders: "A great day in the history of the railroad industry. It reflects a farsighted viewpoint on the part of the commission...
Fresh & Incalculable. Author Mattingly, professor of European history at Columbia University, begins his account with the execution of Mary Stuart, Roman Catholic Queen of Scotland, in February 1587. Partly as a result, Spain's King Philip II, known as "the Prudent," abandoned prudence long enough to let himself be talked into a campaign designed to cut Protestant Elizabeth down to size. The project, tersely referred to as The Enterprise, was hastily begun. From the start, nothing went right with armaments, provisions, recruiting, and 3½ months be fore the Armada was to sail, its aged admiral died. King Philip...
