...Your implication that Minnesotans tolerantly and forgivingly accept Senator McCarthy's nonperformance in office is certainly subject to some extensive qualifications. People who have to call on our representatives for information, counsel and aid are not amused, and it goes beyond the affront of not getting responsive action to a request. What is most resented is that the work is shifted to already overburdened representatives-first Hubert Humphrey and now Senator Mondale. Considering McCarthy's undistinguished and largely negative record in the field of legislation, in comparison with the records of Mondale and Humphrey, we resent having...
...Undoubtedly, Johnson's motivation will be the subject of debate for years to come. Some attributed the decision to his health; one Democrat, in fact, reported that Johnson had been denied renewal of a $250,000 insurance policy if he decided to undertake a national campaign. But Johnson's cardiologist, Dr. J. Willis Hurst, noted that he has been healthy since his 1955 coronary attack, and is now "clearly in the category of a man who has never had a heart attack...

But, the Guardian con ceded, "we think he's worth...
Hansel & Gretel. Though many weathermen are content to inform a viewer whose wet socks are drying on the radiator that it rained today, a few have won their audiences through ingenuity. In New York City, Tex Antoine, head seer at WABC, puts the "sugar coating on a rather dull subject" by using Uncle Wethbee, a cartoon drawing whose mustache droops or curls according to the climate. "Half the fun," says Antoine, affixing a black eye on Uncle Wethbee, "is explaining the reason why a forecast fails"; the other half is collecting $100,000 a year for not failing too often...
