Using Minnesota's bursting-with-health D.F.L. as their power base. Humphrey planners hope to throw out presidential lines into nearly all Midwestern and West ern states. A crucial part of their plans: an attempt to persuade Michigan's Wil liams not to lock horns with Humphrey, thereby leaving Hubert a clear liberal field. A limiting factor in Humphrey's strategy: he is up for Senate re-election in 1960. therefore will probably not be able to enter and campaign in presiden tial primaries...
...despite occasionally funny lines-of seeming both tedious and tawdry. Where The Marriage-Go-Round is not a Junoesque strip-tease on Actress Newmar's part, it becomes an attempted script-save on Colbert's and Boyer's. Their manner of saving it is to throw away as much of it as possible.

From his exile in the Canary Islands, ex-Dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla had flown home to Bogota, gambling that the fledgling government would never dare throw a former army boss in jail. He misjudged his opponents. While Rojas held court to a handful of admirers in the town house of a friend, Colombia's Senate calmly went ahead drafting indictments for corruption. One well-documented case revolved around Rojas' intervention to clear one of his cronies who was caught smuggling cattle into the country. The others were straight from bank and government records: that Rojas and his friends...
