...uneasy moments. Invading the Minnesota-bordering, Humphrey-leaning, predominantly Protestant Tenth District, Kennedy glad-handed through towns that were called Mellen and Glidden, Park Falls and Montreal. Barreling along at 90 m.p.h. on the outskirts of Ladysmith, the Kennedy motorcade slowed down as it got near a group of cheering nuns and postulants, chilled from waiting at the roadside. Kennedy ordered a halt, hopped out of his car. One postulant wished him a happy St. Patrick's Day, pinned a green ribbon on his lapel. But Kennedy looked uncomfortable when photographers' bulbs popped. Later, when visiting the nearby...
...home made known that he had enlisted as a fulltime speechwriter a longtime friend: William Attwood, 40, who took a nine-month leave from his job as foreign editor of Look Magazine.

...Lawrence Cowen, 52, president of Lionel Corp. from 1946 until last fall, was named chairman and chief executive officer of Schick Inc., makers of electric shavers. Cowen, who bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange at the age of 21, was ousted from Lionel when a new group led by Lawyer Roy M. Cohn took control of the company founded by Cowen's father (who gave his middle name, Lionel, to the toy electric trains he created). At Schick, Cowen succeeds Chester G. Gifford, who took over as Schick chairman in November 1958 when Revlon President Charles...
