William Benton's earnest demand that Joe McCarthy be expelled forthwith from the Senate (TIME, Aug. 13) had little effect last week on Joe.

...string of trotters mostly around Midwestern state fairs. Then he sent his driver-trainer, Guy Crippen, to look over a handsome two-year-old colt named Mainliner. Crippen liked what he saw. Kroening got on the phone and bought the dark brown horse for $25,000, sight unseen.

While their parents argued with representatives of the Home Office, Bubba and Kathy raced in wild unconcern up & down the corridors of the immigration building. When the officials told them to go home forthwith, Bubba menacingly waved a toy six-shooter under their official noses. Next day the officials relented slightly, said it was all right for the Tongays to stay in England for one month. But any swimming the kids did, they warned, must be strictly for fun-not cash...
