...Twin Cities, flanked by Republican Governor Luther Youngdahl and Democratic Senator Hubert Humphrey, Truman rolled through 21 miles of streets lined by 400,000 citizens (police estimate). Every school was out; there were bands, color guards, a 21-gun presidential salute.

Along toward dawn one morning last week, Screen Actor Humphrey Bogart was sitting, in person, in Manhattan's not quite haut monde saloon, the Stork Club. It was the hour when it is virtually impossible to decide whether a rumba band goes bonkle bonkle tonk, or tonkle tonkle bonk; when waiters' arches ache, and blondes brush the hair out of their eyes in a queenly way. Bogart, who was sipping happily on a drink, decided to send out for two 22-lb. stuffed pandas...
