...would be very pleased if we get a majority in the Senate," said Republican National Chairman Meade Alcorn last week to reporters at the White House. "But I have to be candid with you and candid with myself. I don't think it's in the cards for this time...
...candid forecaster, Alcorn scored well. The third of the Senate seats open this year were last filled in the piping Eisenhower year of 1952.

Nasser Interview: To its gallery of foreign statesmen sitting for candid TV interviews, e.g., Russia's Nikita Khrushchev, China's Chou Enlai, CBS this week added President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the new United Arab Republic.

We are constantly sweeping facts under the rugs...

On the Missouri Waltz, he said: "I don't give a damn about it, but I can't say it out loud because it's the song of Missouri. It's as bad as The Star-Spangled Banner so far as music is concerned." A bright-eyed 72 when the film was shot. Truman favored posterity with his sunburst smile and flashes of his shrewdness, wisdom and trove of history...
