Sporting a healthy tan acquired during his Western tour, Adlai Stevenson last week turned his attention to the East Coast...
Apparently impressed by Hagan's scraping and by an 1860 Cincinnati Daily Gazette description of the house as "a Quaker tint of tan," the advisory committee members after 90 minutes' deliberation ruled for "Quaker Brown."
