Cavanagh and other Sixties Liberals including, perhaps, Robert Kennedy, have profited from the success during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations of all the causes that men like Williams and Hubert Humphrey fought for in the fifties. What the Detroit newspapers railed against ten years ago, they now accept, and Cavanagh, like LBJ, knows how to use their acceptance to make further gains. At the same time, Republicans--even Michigan Republicans--have changed. George Romney managed to convince voters that he was not the same kind of politician as the reactionaries that controlled the State Senate (although he is closer...
...have been under considerable pressure to stay neutral on the growers' side.

Unreasonable Delusions. The most perfect Hemingway hero, unhappily, did not decline as a Hemingway hero should have. Papa grew increasingly gaunt and anxious in his last months. He got upset over trifles, worried that an airline would not accept him with excess baggage, despaired because he was sure he could not pick up his guns at Abercrombie & Fitch after his lawyer had neglected to pay a bill. Gradually, he began to believe that he was being followed by Government agents and that his family and friends had somehow betrayed...
