...Democratic Party, the other part joining the regular Republicans. In that breakup, the Republicans got saddled with U.S. Senator Bill Langer. And having got him, last week they tried to get rid of him: the state G.O.P. convention voted 348 to 177 on its fifth ballot to dump Wild Bill Langer, 71, in favor of Lieutenant Governor Clyde Duffy, 68.

Naval recruits went back to the full rigors of boot training only nine to 32 days after hernia surgery. Pro football players (Philadelphia Eagles) have returned to gridiron mauling 30 days after appendectomy with no ill effects...
Over the decades, despite blasts from Negro groups objecting to the social caricatures, Southerners Gosden and Correll have stuck to their basic plot line, regularly got tuba-voiced Andy (Correll) into wild misadventures, sent earnest, gravel-throated Amos (Gosden) to his aid, and flavored the episodes with the genial con-manship of The Kingfish (Gosden...
