Three on the Washington Front
When the late FR, WILFRID PARSONS died at Georgetown in the fall of
1958, we wondered how we. could possibly continue our weekly de-
partment, Washington Front, without him. Today these three experi-
enced commentators have taken his place. We here introduce them
to our readers.
EDWARD T. FOLLIARD
This is the familiar face that looks at President Eisenhower
every Wednesday morning at White House press conferences.
It belongs to EDWARD T. FoLLI.&RD, veteran White House
correspondent for the Washington Post. Al Pulitzer Prize win-
ner who travels extensively with the President, MR. FOLLIARD
went with Mr. Ei?cnhower to Europe last fall, and then in
December made the long 13-nation tour as well. His next
trip will be to Moscow. For years "EDDIE' FOLLIARD has been
one -of the key organizers of week-end retreats for Washington
newspapermen.

Orphanage, where she, spends her free Sundays telling
them stories, MARY MCGRORY is a bright spot in the-
firmament of Washington political ne~vspaperdom. She
works for the Washington Star, and toured the country
with Khrushchev for that newspaper. A.graduate of Girls'
Latin School in Boston and of Emmartttel College, Miss
MCGRORY is about to establish a national reputation
through a syndicated column which, we suspect, will .soon
be more widely read than Mrs. Roosevelt's ~ y, Day."
DR. HOWARD PENNIMAN
Graduate of Louisiana State University and the University
of Minnesota, DR. HOWARD PENNIMAN came to George-
town University in 1957 as professor of government after
an extended apprenticeship as a Yale professor, and after
almost a decade of experience with the Department of
'State, the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. In
fdriiiatidii' Agency. Today he heads the Department of
Government at Georgetown, but finds time to act as
consultant to the Bureau of the Census. (A census of the
Penniman household reveals that he is the father of five
children.)
