...afterward waded into the student crowd for several minutes of ebullient handshaking. He later said that he regretted not being able to visit other, more militant campuses. Turning quickly to more conventional politics, he flew to Chicago to lend his prestige to Senator Ralph Smith's campaign against Adlai Stevenson III. While there, the President took the opportunity to meet with eight leaders of Chicago's large and politically powerful Polish community and at one point to press the flesh with a group of hardhat construction workers in the Loop...

In New York, the screens show Nelson Rockefeller in at least half his spots, something they did only rarely when his popularity was at a lower level four years...
...argued that Ball and other officials who were apparently against a hard-line policy−such as Adlai Stevenson and Arthur Goldberg−may have prevented an even more hawkish stance by their dissenting presence. But their resignations might have had a greater impact. How to choose? Lord Caradon, Britain's Ambassador to the U.N., proposes these criteria for the resignation of a Cabinet member: 1) he must be directly involved in a policy that he opposes, 2) he has suggested a viable alternative that has been rejected, 3) the issue is a continuing...
