...that Diefenbaker's momentum will carry him through another election, and the most recent Gallup poll backs the majority up. The May poll showed the Tories holding steady with 48% support to the Liberals' 37% and the Socialist CCF's 9%. Less conclusive, perhaps, but the sort of news Diefenbaker takes to heart, was another Gallup poll. Of eleven countries polled, Canadians owned up to being the happiest...
Although he was born and raised a Republican, Conrad's personal enthusiasms are presently those of an Adlai Stevenson Democrat. He voted for Dwight Eisenhower in 1952, has since made Ike appear as a progressively older and near-senile sort. Admonished by his editors, Conrad replies: "I consulted a doctor. He said that it's perfectly logical for a man's appearance to change that way as he grows older." Besides, says Conrad, "the way I draw him, he is perfectly recognizable."

...downriver with a runaway slave named Jim (tolerably well played by Light-Heavyweight Champion Archie Moore). But while the story goes down the river, the picture heads up the creek.

As a driving instructor, he maintains classroom calm while he sits in the front seat of a car with a lady who goes 75 in her driveway. As an eager 1904 entrepreneur, he tries to start transcontinental passenger service at once by putting a toilet on the Wright brothers' plane. As a stiff-lipped submarine commander, he tells the crew: "I think our firing...
...time he died at 71 in 1955, Harold Osman (H.O.) Kelly had won a strange sort of fame for a man who was called by the nickname, "Cowboy." People came from far and wide to visit him at his rickety little house outside Blanket, Texas. They would listen to him reminisce, sit while his ancient phonograph scratched a favorite polka. But mostly they came to buy one of his bright and lively paintings of an oddly remote Old West (see color). Sometimes the old man gave them away as gifts-and fine presents they were, too. No less a person...
