Still the impression grew that Rockefeller, with an eye to 1964, had been campaigning as much for himself as for Nixon. His job was to woo independents, and he produced precious few. In September he rejected the Eisenhower-Nixon old-age medical-care plan and plumped for Kennedy's social security-based system. When asked in Geneva, N.Y. if he agreed with Nixon that U.S. prestige was at an alltime high-a key point in the debate with Kennedy-Rockefeller said: "I wouldn't make such a flat statement."

Undoubtedly, a few Kennedy partisans will be forced to reexamine their choice as a result of the President's efforts. But in the main these people are Democrats who, after an eight-year flirtation...
Tenderloin stars Maurice Evans in the role of a minister who wishes to woo wastrels from the brothel they love. "It's a serious story," Abbott says. "The fashion of musical comedy has changed so much . . . you can't get away with the spring tra la routines wedged in between unrelated dialogue. The current term is 'integrated' musical comedy." An equally serious show about New York's Mayor La Guardia, "Fiorello," won Abbott a Pulitzer Prize this spring...
