...Miss McCormick -who appears to be a rather tall gal-in the act of ramming her snickersnee between the shoulders of an animal called (jokingly?) a bull . . . In Wyoming, such a pore little critter, although admittedly a male, wouldn't be classed as a bull but as a tail-end yearlin'. Lack of size and length of horns denote immaturity. His contours suggest he was dogied while very young. Quite possibly he was a convalescent from aftosa; certainly his home range has had a long dry spell.

But in separate press conferences last week, two leading Democratic Senators gave the boomlet another boost. Illinois' Paul Douglas, who still wants Eisenhower for President, still hopes Harry Truman will just go quietly away, noted "increasingly favorable sentiment for Senator Kefauver." Minnesota's Fair Dealing Hubert Humphrey, who still...
