John Kennedy wore a blue pinstripe suit and a cheery look as he walked to the press-conference microphones. Before the questioning began, he had several announcements to make. For one thing, he and his wife thought it was awfully nice of France to let the U.S. have a look at Mona Lisa (see PEOPLE). Unimpressed, reporters doodled on their note pads. The President kept them doodling by turning to a "more physical side" and coming out strong for togetherness in athletics. He sounded urgent in his warning that rival U.S. amateur organizations must stop bickering or there...
Tremendous Humbug. The man who challenged the masters was short-legged, plump and swarthy, with violently staring eyes. He wore his hair in bangs to conceal two hornlike protuberances that jutted from his forehead. Contemporaries noted that there was something catlike in his manners, his wit and his sulks. Wrote Poet André Suares: "Just as the cat rubs itself against the hand, Debussy caresses his soul with the pleasure which he invokes." A natural bohemian, the composer spent nights roaming Montmartre with celebrities of the period ranging from Mata Hari to Marcel Proust...
McLevy lived as frugally as did Bridgeport. When the usual police-driven squad car was first offered for his use, he barked: "Get that damn thing out of here."

As is traditional since the Brown match last week, the Harvard all wore vests. Said GUTS captain Jim Parry: "It's dignified, it's British, and it keeps out ties from falling on the winks...
...Seaton wore tailored suits, had spent a lot of time in the effete East-meaning, Washington, D.C.-as Dwight Eisenhower's Interior Secretary. He came out for a more costly teacher-retirement program, increased funds for the University of Nebraska, a stepped-up highway construction plan. Morrison, a scuffed-shoes-and-red-galluses sort of fellow, made fun of the Kennedy Administration, declined to let New Frontier Democrats come into the state to campaign for him, insisted that Seaton's programs would require a 40% increase in the state's property tax. Nebraska Republicans decided that Democrat...
