...first time since 1933, have the distinction of 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...
Wisconsin: The G.O.P. rates Democratic Senator Bill Proxmire's seat as one it could grab away from the Democrats. Reason No. 1: Tireless Bill Proxmire, 42, elected to Joe McCarthy's seat last year, has turned out to be an inept Senator. His proposed measures for licking the recession would have cost the country $23 billion by G.O.P. estimate and $8.7 billion by his own (he says his other waste-cutting, tax-loophole-plugging bills would more than make up the deficit).

Yet he can still smile shyly from behind his desk in the Indoor Athletic Building and say honestly, "I'm certainly looking forward to next year...
...young (23) Barrie Chase, Fred's new partner, fitted into his new routines as easily as Ginger Rogers or Cyd Charisse ever fitted into the old. Jonah Jones, a beaming barrel of a man, demonstrated that a trumpet can almost talk, especially if it has Astaire's tireless feet to talk back. Fred, singing a medley of songs from past triumphs, nudged two generations of fans to misty nostalgia. Every dance number showed that TV choreography need not be uniformly awful; every stage effect taught the cameras new tricks...
...months ago (April i, L. 1957), in a cover story on Air Force Missileman Bernard Schriever, TIME reported that Air Force scientists con sidered sending an unmanned rocket to the moon a worthwhile project, and estimated that they could be ready to shoot in 1 8 months. Last week tireless, punctual Major General Schriever and his men sent their rocket - Pioneer -far out into space. For the story of their hopes, disappointments and accomplishments, see NATIONAL AFFAIRS...
