...never suggested that the Democrat's sweep is Philadelphia rested on ethnic considerations alone. As everyone concedes, it rested mainly on the zeal of local Democrats. Yet it is fair to say, as we did, that Philadelphia Democrats were not plagued by the same factor that plagued Boston Democrats, the Reds-in-government issue operating on people highly sensitive to the problem of Communism in general. Cities with heavy Catholic vote of cities like say, Los Angeles, where exacerbation of subversion is now a ghastly vogue, offered problems to Stevenson worker's that Philadelphia...

He impressed Malay sultans and Japanese feudal barons with his poise, and he could sway the commonfolk by his zeal. In three months on the island of Amboina he baptized 1,200.

With Italy, we must salute a defeated and impoverished nation's magnificent recovery...

No more stuffy white shirts--a black, heavy shirt with the top button tied and the collar points narrow fits smoothly underneath a cordaroy brown. Let a bright handkerchief hang from the pocket. Keep the pants light, bright, and your shoes a plain, smart dress loafer...
