...hard for the Republican nomination for Governor that he got home only six nights in the last three months of the campaign, traveled 30,000 miles and walked two pairs of soles off his shoes. Last week, by a vote of 147,438 to 35,085, he walloped one-term (1954-57) Governor Fred Hall, who had thoroughly split the party in 1956 to lose his second-term bid to Democrat George Docking...

The Fed, which regularly buys 91-day Treasury bills as part of its normal operations, cryptically announced that it was "broadening" its open-market operations. This led many to believe that the Fed intended to buy enough long-term bonds to cushion the market; it gave courage to the market, attracted buyers back into bonds. But the Fed's purchases were limited to buying $1 billion of one-year certificates to aid the Treasury's July refinancing operation. As the effect of this wore off and hopes...
