...political pathway for Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. Before that day ended in Jamestown, he had traveled 200 miles, made nine campaign stops. At each he eased into a different device for winning friends and influencing voters. In Geneseo Rockefeller happily scribbled autographs for housewives, on handbags and even a check stub ("I never sign my autograph on a check"). In Alfred "Rocky" popped a blue Alfred University beanie on his head while 2,000 students cheered. In Wellsville he solemnly accepted 50? campaign contributions from two shy Brownie scouts. In Olean he let ward bosses wait while he strode into...
...Tommy Boston Jr. of Cartersville, Ga., was taken to St. Joseph's Infirmary in Atlanta, where Surgeon William A. Hopkins found that he had a short stub of gullet extending one-third the normal length down from his throat, then nothing. Dr. Hopkins led this stump out through a hole in the neck, so Tommy could get rid of saliva. For feeding, he ran a tube into the stomach.

After some behind-scenes grumbling by Russia, directors of the fledgling IAEA, meeting in Vienna, elected Cole their first director-general with a probable salary of $20,000 a year and a $10,000 expense account...
Alias Sapo. In his tepid way, he tells himself little stories to while away the time. Or perhaps he writes them, since he keeps the stub of a pencil, sharpened at both ends, and a notebook in his room. One story concerns Mr. Saposcat (Sapo for short, and Homo sapiens, of course) and his wife, who worry about whether their teen-age son will pass some sort of exam. Another is about a farm family that happens to bury a mule. Even though Malone becomes Saposcat temporarily, these episodes dribble into nothingness in keeping with Beckett's conviction that...
