...under the Constitution. I do not subscribe to the philosophy that all legislation on the military should come from the Department of Defense." In more political terms, Rivers, a 13-term Congressman who supported Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond for President in 1948, Dwight Eisenhower in 1952, and the national Democratic ticket since then, says: "I've got enough John C.

...night-watchman's job. Yvette causes gossip when she befriends a pansy florist and accepts baby-sitting jobs at the home of a kept woman. But soon Yvette becomes pregnant, and spring arrives bringing birdsong, title song, birth, graduation, and a proper Catholic wedding. Short of a winning ticket in the Irish Sweepstakes, who could ask for anything more...
