The loyal, devoted, hopeful friends of 1952 and 1956 were still loyal and devoted-but no longer very hopeful. By last week Democratic politicos and amateurs alike were generally writing off Adlai Stevenson as a serious possibility for the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination...

Hatched three years ago by husky Harvard ('48) Lawyer Robert Marshall Stevenson, 37.
