...Pressures. For his part, Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson had to summon ailing Matthew M. Neely of West Virginia. Plagued by a broken hip, aging (82) Matt Neely was wheeled in, sat uncomfortably fingering a water cup, waiting for the roll call. But not even Neely's arrival in a wheelchair, nor the appearance of Adlai Stevenson in the gallery, could shift the glow of a glorious moment from Frank Lausche, as he sat poised and quiet in an end seat, an aisle's breadth away from Republicanism...
...summon up the past glories of one of mankind's most golden ages, the most important exhibit of T'ang Dynasty art treasures ever to be seen outside of China opened this week at the Los Angeles County Museum.

In the sandy jack-pine country near the North Carolina line, warehouses bulged with the Bright Tobacco that enriched Virginia by $84 million last year. In southside Virginia, below Richmond, jets of ocher-colored steam spewed from National Aniline's new, modernistic chemical plant. In Williamsburg, tourists moved quietly, reverently, through shrines that attest to Virginia's historic leadership...
Facing a battery of microphones, Sir Winston managed to summon up a spark of the old fire, audaciously talked of making Russia a partner with NATO. His audience was more startled than inflamed."A new question," said Churchill, "has been raised by the recent Russian repudiation of Stalin. If it is sincere, we have a new Russia to deal with, and I do not see myself why the new Russia should not join in the spirit of this solemn agreement. In a true Unity of Europe, Russia must have her part. I was glad to see that Poland was already...
