Last fortnight the Rev. Gustave Weigel, a distinguished Jesuit theologian, backed Kennedy's interpretations in a formal statement (TIME, Oct. 10). Last week a group of 169 prominent Catholic laymen -including such ardent Democrats as Minnesota's Senator Eugene McCarthy and Connecticut's Senator Tom Dodd, and such solid Nixon Republicans as former Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce and Professor Francis G.

The vote was strictly party-line, and the Democratic majority tabled civil rights by a lopsided...

Indians were excited by the talk that he might pick Chester Bowles, who as Ambassador to India was an ardent Nehru fan. For the same reason, many Pakistanis leaned toward Nixon. Said one Karachi newsman: "I get cold shivers every time I think of the specter of Chester Bowles peering over Kennedy's shoulder...
