...night wore on, three candidates withdrew, but Wallace stood fast, hopeful that he might become the compromise choice. Backstage, the candidates' tacticians huddled, vainly seeking deals that might break the deadlock. On the sixth ballot, Wallace began to slip. The May forces tried to get a recess until morning to gain time to persuade Wallace to with draw and throw his votes to May. Uncomfortable and hungry, the delegates in sisted with rhythmical clapping that the voting continue. On the seventh Wallace was down to 43 votes, while Alsop had 309 and May 302. Foreseeing the end, Wallace withdrew...
...strike that silenced both the evening Star (circ. 294,496) and its morning companion the Tribune (229,837) wore into its tenth week, the city gasped for news as a thirsty man for drink. "You just can't find out what's going on," beefed Cab Driver Rudy Thrope. "A guy I know died and I didn't find out for a couple of days." "I get home now," said Hennepin County Assistant Attorney Theodore Rix, "sit down in the chair and turn on television. What's on? Captain Kangaroo." Said Mrs. Joel Redlin, summing...
...Senator from Arizona rose, and the chamber hushed to hear him. He was tall and greying, with an eagle's nose and a noble brow. He wore striped pants, a wing collar, a spade-tailed coat, and nose glasses leashed with yards of black, fluttering ribbon. He rolled out his words with infinite relish.

...wore on, selling panic buffeted the widely held blue chips: IBM fell 37½ to 361, Du Pont 12½ to 202½, A.T.&T. 11 to 100⅝. So irrepressible was Blue Monday's selling pressure that more than 4,000,000 shares changed hands in the final 30 minutes of trading, and the last transaction did not clear the ticker tape until 2½ hours after closing. In the second bleakest day in Wall Street's history, the Dow-Jones industrial index plunged 34.95 to 576.93-21% below its peak of last December...
Pres Bush, 67, said that he simply did not have "the strength and vigor needed to do full justice to the campaign ahead, or to the responsibilities involved in serving another six years in the Senate." He looked tired, wore a hearing aid for the first time in public. That the campaign would be strenuous was obvious-since former Democratic Governor Abe Ribicoff, a great Connecticut vote-getter, is leaving the Kennedy Cabinet to run for the Senate. Bush did beat Ribicoff for the Senate in the Eisenhower landslide of 1952, but private polls by both parties now showed...
