...last week. Adlai replied that 1) he would endorse no one, at least not until after the presidential primaries; 2) he will not withdraw his own name from speculation, but 3) he will make no overt effort to obtain the Democratic nomination. In Cheyenne, Wyo., Democratic Pacemaker John Kennedy tut-tutted such coy stratagems. Said he: "The primaries are going to be decisive next year. Anyone who wants to be a candidate for President ought...
Since the Federal Communications Commission was set up to look after the public interest as affected by the broadcasting business, how could all those rivers of payola flood the land without provoking so much as a "tut, tut" from the commissioners? Scoring the FCC (and the Federal Trade Commission as well), the New York Herald Tribune's Washington Columnist Roscoe Drummond wrote: "They were supposed to be watching, and it wasn't until after they began to be scorched by public opinion that they showed any evidence that they thought they had much to do about...
...Patient and precise, slight (5 ft. 8 in., 150 Ibs.)

Growled House Speaker Sam Rayburn: "I see that the Republicans just about obliterated the Democratic Party . . . Does the White House think it can pass its program without Democratic votes?" But mingled with criticism there was plenty of praise, especially from the Republican...
...Chicago Tribune, which long viewed the British monarchy with the beady-eyed vigilance of Paul Revere, was as throne-prone last week as the rest of the U.S. press. Washington Correspondent Walter Trohan summoned an echo of the late Colonel Bertie McCormick when he tut-tutted that the last British royal visit in 1939 "did help promote America's entry" into World War II. But the Tribune ran a front-page color cartoon showing a whiskered Uncle Sam smiling (regulars could not recall when Sam last smiled for the Trib) as he presented a bouquet to the Queen under...
