...offered a timid program in some important areas, but it was mostly copied from the Democrats. The only new program it has put forward was for the construction of highways, and it botched that one by proposing to finance it with a bonanza to the Wall Street financiers-a bond issue. In other areas this Republican Administration has actually moved backward. It is dominated and controlled by Big Business-which it allows to plunder our natural resources...

In recent months, Frank Sinatra has managed to irritate a crowd of 10,000 in Australia, sue a well-known producer for breach of contract and make it widely known that he "would rather punch him in the face," display scorn in public for Marlon Brando, alienate the affections of Sam Goldwyn, mount a wide-open attack on another entertainer in a prominent newspaper ad ("Ed Sullivan, You're sick . . .
