...been beaten when the Senate struck out the bill's sweeping Part III and limited the bill only to enforcing the right of all qualified citizens to vote (TIME, Aug. 5). But he had bounced back to re-form his coalition of Republicans and Democratic liberals for a surer battle. He had grown so certain that he could fend off attempts to weaken the enforcement powers of Part IV with compulsory jury trials that he declined White House aid lest it offend his group of Northern Democratic liberals. By midweek Bill Knowland could tick off a safe 39 Republicans...
...outdone, last summer Verve Records reorganized the group, which featured Roy Eldridge, and rerecorded most of the same tunes. The two records are fascinating to compare--O'Day's style has remained much the same but is now a little drier, and even a little surer and more free.

The only Negro daily in the North, and the second...
Long before President Eisenhower's attack, heart disease became a major American worry. Other diseases were being triumphantly conquered with wonder drugs and new surgical techniques, but one result of keeping people alive longer, it seemed, was to make all the surer that they would eventually have heart attacks. Heart-and-artery disease was pinpointed as the nation's No. 1 killer-with ample statistical reason. It now accounts for 800,000 deaths a year, half the U.S. total...
