...Outfit. If the rakehell wants a drink after the legal 1:30 a.m. closing time, he need only walk over to the Variety Lounge on Broadway and knock on the door marked "Family Entrance." There, at 3:30 on a recent morning, a two-man band was in full swing, and 50 people kept two bartenders in constant motion. Gambling? In East Chicago, there are poker games almost any night upstairs over the Nu-Oriental Restaurant, and poker, pinball and betting on the horses at Forsythe Billiards. For a full Baedeker tour of the county's delights, the visiting...
Whatever their individual merits, all general guidebooks to Europe share one important fault: they lag far behind in reflecting the major tourist trends. One case in point is an almost generalized failure to report that the Iron Curtain countries have begun to welcome tourists-and are beginning to swing. Hungarian night life and restaurants are just about as gay as they were in the good old days. Bulgaria is plugging a two-week stay on the sunny Black Sea coast for $91, including air fare from Vienna. Another popular Vienna excursion: down the Danube by hydrofoil for a weekend...
...were Democrats. Nationwide, labor is expected to hew pretty close to its line in the last election: of 276 COPE-backed candidates elected to Congress, only 17 were Republicans.

An M.I.T. scientist plans to bounce high-frequency radar pulses off Venus as it begins to swing behind the sun. If Einstein's theory holds, the radar waves will be slowed down slightly as they pass through the strongest part of the solar gravitational field-enough to cause a 40-mile error in radar measurement of the distance of Venus from the earth...
...friendship with President Truman made him a power pivot between the White House and the Senate; of pneumonia; in Washington. A wispy, whispery Arkansan, Biffle, as the man in charge of the Senate's machinery, was the one to see to grease the ways for a bill or swing a vote here and there. His political judgment was considered "blue chip" after the 1948 campaign when he disguised himself as a chicken farmer and toured the Midwest, emerging to report, almost alone among the experts, that H.S.T. had a "fighting chance" to beat Thomas E. Dewey...
