...motives: having failed in his tries at the presidential nomination in 1948 and 1952, and despite his foreclosure this week. Stassen wants another shot in 1960. And to take over the Eisenhower wing of the party, he must first get Nixon out of the way. Clearly, the tireless Childe Harold was setting out on a new pilgrimage toward his promised land...
...defense was led by tireless, flamboyant Manhattan Trial Lawyer Emile Zola Berman,* 53, a World War II Army Air Force intelligence officer (Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star), who took the case without pay, on the urging of a committee of New York lawyers and judges that rallied to help McKeon.

After outdistancing his entourages in a fortnight's dashing about Italy, tireless Tourist Harry S. (for Swinomish) Truman raced on to Austria, where he was soon ensconced in the third row of a Salzburg concert hall. As Music Lover Truman watched approvingly, Conductor Bernhard Paumgartner struck up the band, then quickly stopped the music while guards kicked out a movie cameraman who had ignored a signal to go away from Truman territory. At a dinner that followed, the former President, never averse to giving hell even to the press when it nettles him, outspokenly applauded the maestro...
