Going Dutch with a tiny admirer, Governor George Romney, 55, enjoyed himself at the annual Tulip Festival in Holland, Michigan. Before the day ended, Romney was out there in costume scrubbing the streets-and his demonstration that a new broom sweeps clean must have pleased Republicans who see the Governor as presidential timber for 1964. Soon to come on Romney's busy schedule is a speechmaking date in Washington at the National Press Club, a favorite proving ground for potential candidates...
...Igor ("Cholly Knickerbocker") Cassini, in the Journal American, or good-natured Joseph X. Dever in the World-Telegram, or bland Nancy Randolph in the Daily News, or even the entertainingly abrasive "Suzy" (Aileen Mehle) in the Mirror. The fascinating intelligence that Mercedes de Footwork had lunch at the Purple Tulip is good for a line any time. No one may have heard of either Mercedes or the Tulip, but after both have been mentioned a dozen times and absorbed with faithful mindlessness by the people who read "the columns," Mercedes may get some invitations and the Tulip some customers...
...young princes with eligible princesses. Queen Juliana democratically lodged all 130 guests at Amsterdam's plush Amstel Hotel instead of scattering them through her own draughty palaces.

Fenton, MO., will be torn from it's cozy FIreside, while Chester, Pa., and its saucy GYpsy will be parted. NIghtingale and HYacinth will nevermore breathe their poetry over Brooklyn's wires. The sands are running out fpr such...
There is no such thing as a beneficial virus, though some do no harm. Whenever a virus has a detectable effect, it is bad. All healthy tulips are solid-colored. The tulip-streak (or "breaking") virus creates variegated color patterns of great beauty in the eye of the human beholder (and of great cash value to Dutch growers). But, says Stanley, "if you have the tulip-streak virus and you happen to be a tulip, you're sick.'' This lack of evident purpose in viruses leaves teleological philosophers at a loss. Yet viruses must have influenced evolution...
