...Kefauver's Senate successor, Tennessee Governor Frank Clement, 43, named an aging, ailing politician who is obviously going to Washington just to keep the seat warm. He is longtime Democratic National Committeeman Herbert S. ("Hub") Walters, a millionaire roadbuilder, banker and natural-gas distributor. Walters is 71, and has twice undergone surgery for malignant tumors, including a 1948 throat operation that cost him his vocal cords. As a result, he cannot speak above a hoarse whisper. There is every likelihood that Walters will step down next year to permit Clement himself to run for the remaining two years...
...four men worked in shirtsleeves, practicing alone on the barren stage, rigid on their chairs, laboring in total concentration to draw from their instruments the warm, expressive voices that exemplify the string quartet. They moved quickly through the music, sel dom speaking, marking cues in their scores, skipping past the easy to bear down on the difficult.

A brief and poignant scene follows: in the warm cradle of the surf Simon's small body is rocked to and fro, swaddled in a glimmer of phosphorus until it is carried...
...Weather Bureau began an intensive program aimed at learning how to slow a hurricane down and make it change course. Observations from air planes and balloons showed large quantities of supercooled water high above each hurricane's heat chimney - the rising column of moist, warm, low-pressure air near the storm's calm eye. Meteorologists speculated that if this water could be turned to ice, the energy released in the process might change the chimney's pressure enough to calm the raging winds...
...family to come with him to his recently acquired theatre (a dilapidated church) in Seattle. His song's lyrics, "There's no battle, no rattle, in Seattle" followed by a boorish "Boom, boom, boom" are equally distasteful. Occasionally, in some of the comic routines, and in Miss Martin's warm expression of her love for life, in "Before I Kiss The World Goodbye" the score redeems itself...
