Philadelphia. Yaleman Richardson Dilworth, 61, World War I combat marine who helped run Republican corruption out of Philadelphia back in 1947 and started prodding a dying city back to life, won his second Democratic term by knocking off the most tireless Republican hopeful of the day: Harold Stassen. Dilworth, who had only to rest on his achievements (and the backing of all three Philadelphia newspapers), did not have to take out after Stassen; Harold, 52, did it all by himself. A disappointed presidential and gubernatorial contender in Pennsylvania, the onetime Minnesota boy-wonder Governor could not find a legitimate issue...

Recalls Bishop Stokes (who answered to the camp tag, "Slim"): "I asked the carpenter boss, 'Can I have some 18-inch spreaders?' He answered: 'Young man, I think you mean, "May I have some...
...artless covers than for its accuracy, loves Rupublicans and America, dislikes Democrats and Nasser, eschews conjunctions. Despite these shortcomings it is a rollicking, frolicking smashit in the rough, tough dog-eat-dog newsmagazine game, has huge advertising revenues, publishes several international editions. Publisher Henry Luce, a semi-literate Yaleman (his wife is femalegate to Brazil Clare Booth Luce), was "unavailable for comment" today as irate mobs hurled Bolivitriol at the U.S. embassy and Information Office in reaction to the latest piece of Timeddling...
