...Over radio station WGAY of Silver Spring, Md., Dr. Jesse W. Sprowls, professor of abnormal psychology at the University of Maryland, announced that Stevenson will win. His analysis: Stevenson is a typical introvert. Eisenhower a typical extrovert; in times of crisis, American voters generally favor the introvert. ¶In the fall edition of the magazine Forecast, Technical Editor Irys Vorel wrote that the stars indicate an Eisenhower victory. Said Editor Vorel: "We feel the Libra-scales are going to tilt a little wee bit toward the Eisenhower side and that ... he's going to win by a nose...
...legend of Conant the Wandering Scholar therefore has little substance. An undergraduate impression--also shared by many alumni and even some faculty members--that is harder to kill is of Conant the Cold-Fish Chemist. The 59-year-old Conant is no rollicking extrovert, but stuffed-shirt dignity is also not a part of his character.

French diplomats thought that President Auriol would be just the man for Americans to listen to. A cheerful, bubbling extrovert with a good, plain-spoken word for everybody, Auriol looks and acts like the mayor of a thriving French town (which he was for 15 years) or like a man who would enjoy a musical evening with Harry Truman. (Auriol plays the violin.) On his only previous visit to Washington, as a member of the 1925 Franco-American War Debts Commission, Auriol shocked his superiors by running up and embracing the doorman at the French embassy, who turned...
