...trying to defend two Senate seats. Incumbent G.O.P. Senator Chapman ("Chappy") Revercomb, 63, who served one Senate term (1943-48) before he was elected in 1956 to fill out the term of the late Harley Kilgore, is a handsome grandfather, a tireless, bassoon-throated campaigner, a conservative flailing at apathetic Republican voters. His opponent is conservative, too, but fast-moving, breezy Robert C. Byrd, 40, father of two girls (aged 21 and 17), is hard to beat. A former grocer and three-term Congressman, he shrewdly turns on the corn at country meetings, singing and playing the fiddle (Bile Them...
...rare gesture of across-the-Curtain appreciation, the top-drawer Soviet Union Academy of Sciences awarded membership to 30 non-Russian scientists and scholars, including two Americans: Nobel prizewinning Caltech Chemist Linus Pauling, 57, vociferous foe of nuclear testing, and Biophysicist Detlev W. Bronk, three-term president of the National Academy of Sciences, former president of Johns Hopkins University. Named a corresponding member: brilliant, furtive Nuclear Physicist Bruno Pontecorvo, 44, who fled to the U.S.S.R. from Great Britain in 1950 with a vast knowledge of A-bomb research...
Baltimore's paunchy three-term Mayor Tommy D'Alesandro was punching hard. "I'm gonna bust their skulls wide open!", cried he of his rivals for Maryland's Democratic senatorial nomination. "You can bet on that." The three other principal candidates were punching too. Candidate Clarence D. Long, an economics professor at Johns Hopkins University, accused D'Alesandro (but later retracted and apologized) of having been "an outspoken admirer of Mussolini." Chimed in Candidate James Bruce, business tycoon and onetime (1947-49) U.S. Ambassador to Argentina: "D'Alesandro's tax policy has been...
Kohler, Wisconsin's three-term former governor, was the narrow victor last month in a bitter, seven-man G.O.P. primary (TIME, Aug. 12). Since then, factional wounds have been healing and Kohler has found allies among the defeated six. But he could establish no such rapport with Latecomer Boyle, an old hand at going after the frontrunner. Last year Boyle jumped into a G.O.P. primary between Senator Alexander Wiley and conservative ex-Congressman Glenn Davis, helped Wiley win by picking off about 5% of Davis' conservative vote. He makes no bones about trying to trip Walter Kohler...
...onetime political reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer, Newsman Cox was overwhelmingly elected to Congress from Ohio's Third District in 1908 and 1910, fought hard for such causes as tariff reduction and antitrust laws, later became Ohio's only three-term governor. In the 1920 presidential campaign he promised ailing Woodrow Wilson: "We are going to be a million percent with you and your administration. That means the League of Nations." But in Warren Gamaliel Harding, able Orator Cox and his running mate, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (a young man he later came to differ with in political philosophy...
