...pole are the young writers and thinkers who have made up the Stevenson entourage during this campaign. Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., professor of History and Pulitzer Prize winner, would probably serve in the organizing months, at least, of a Democratic Administration. Stevenson's law partners William McCormick Blair and Willard Wirtz would undoubtedly wind up on his White House staff, along with campaign manager Jim Finnegan and press secretary Clayton Fritchey. Estes Kefauver, as Vice President, seems slated for the post of "super-Secretary of Agriculture" if he fails to make himself an effective leader of the Senate. And a newcomer...
Chicago's genial J.

Stevenson's law partner Bill Wirtz and his wife arrived about 10 o'clock; later in the evening Stevenson's sister, Mrs. Ives, and a family friend arrived. These people are hardly described by your language "his really good friends in politics." For part of the evening Mr. and Mrs. Edison Dick, Barry Bingham...
Lady Chatterley's Lover. The guest list swelled until Lannan's caterers had to send to their Manhattan supplier for more champagne, donated by Madison Square Garden President James Norris and Sports Promoter Art Wirtz. After supper, TV's Bergen ($64,000 Question) Evans auctioned off letters and manuscripts by such literary titans as John Masefield, George Bernard Shaw. Thomas Wolfe, Harry S. Truman. Lannan put up his own copy (published in Florence in a limited 1928 edition) of Lady Chatterley's Lover. In all, Lannan estimated the day's take...
