...Court ruling last week, disbarring an aged patent lawyer from practice before the U.S. Patent Office because he had submitted a ghostwritten article as evidence. He was also pointing up an old Washington custom: ghostwriters had become as much a part of the furniture of modern government as the Mimeograph machine. Many a legislator was as helpless without his ghost as Jack Benny without his gagmen. They appeared on congressional payrolls as "secretaries," in executive departments as "administrative assistants" and "information specialists."

...Down . . ." Stassen's national headquarters, which occupies the whole tenth floor of Minneapolis' Pillsbury Building, hums like a fraternity in rush week. Telephone calls pour in at the rate of 1,000 a day. In a huge mailroom, some 60 volunteers run clacking mimeograph machines, stuff envelopes, mail out an average of 300,000 letters a day. The volunteers, who work in shifts, are drawn from a pool of 700 society women, debutantes, office girls who come in after hours...
