...history, the party out of White House power has gained congressional seats in off-year elections. The exception was in 1934-when a Democratic President had a Great Depression working for him, not unfulfilled promises to cure a mild recession working against him. In 1962 there is every likelihood that state and local issues-ranging from personalities to bond issues for new sewer districts-will weigh heavily in the election results. But there is one issue that should be local everywhere: how to get the U.S. moving again, as swiftly as all Americans would like...
...Ulbricht's 24,500 armed forces and paramilitary police. They would also have to reckon immediately with the three Soviet divisions that are in and around the city. But, as General Maxwell Taylor, soon to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has pointed out, the likelihood of direct Soviet attack on West Berlin is extremely remote.

By last week, these and other contributions reached within $980.000 of the cut-rate $2,240,000 that the academy...
Lean, suave, incomparably tanned, he never wears makeup and has gotten steadily better looking. More or less successfully, he spends his real life pretending he is Gary Grant. Open Paris Match, for example, and there, in all likelihood, will be a picture of him in a sexy Italian car zooming east of Nice on La Moyenne Corniche-the same route he followed with Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief. He is the darling of the internationals-a janizary in Kelly's Monegasque toy palace, a captive treasure among the potentates and popinjays of the Onassis floating salon...
