Before the election, political cartoonists ridiculed the Kennedys' massed march on Washington. Cracked Satirist Del Close of Chicago's Second City: "If Teddy wins. Laos won't be the only country with three princes." Columnists were critical. "Make no mistake about it," wrote Scripps-How-ard's Richard Starnes, "Teddy Kennedy has mortgaged his brother's Administration." Asked Inez Robb: "Don't you think that Teddy is one Kennedy too many?" On primary day, Editor Jonathan Daniels of the strongly pro-Kennedy Raleigh News and Observer wrote: "Whatever happens in Massachusetts today, the implications...
These are some of the lessons that Rich ard M. Nixon has drawn from his crisis-ridden career - and which he passes along to readers of his Six Crises, published in part by LIFE and now out in a book (Doubleday; 460 pp.; $5.95). It is a curious document. It displays at times a genuine humility - and at times a need less, naive immodesty. It provides some absorbing footnotes to recent history. It gives insight into the strange political relationship between Nixon and Eisenhower. And it tells more about Nixon than he may have intended...
...Viruses & a Microbe. Since the commonest victims of acute respiratory disease-ARD in medical jargon-are children, the PHS's vaccine program will be tailored for them. The first vaccines will be made from ten viruses-respiratory syncytial virus (the most important), three types of parainfluenza virus, six of adenovirus-and one non-viral microbe, the "Eaton agent" (TIME, Nov. 10). Together, these microbes are estimated to cause 60% of ARD cases judged to be severe enough to send most children into hospitals...
...Naysayers. Businessmen who flatly oppose the whole idea of freer trade may be a minority, but get heard. Notable among them is Colonel Willard F. Rock well, chairman of Pittsburgh's Rockwell Manufacturing Co. and Rockwell-Stand ard Corp. (pumps, valves, automotive parts and Aero Commander planes). Says he: "With high U.S. wages and raw-material costs, high taxes and low depreciation write-offs, I don't know of a single U.S. product that could compete with European industry." The nearest thing to unanimous opposition to the Kennedy program was heard among businessmen in the South - partly because...
...change in House leadership caused by the death of Speaker Sam Rayburn is another complicating factor. With Mister Sam gone, much of his power is bound to be claimed by the House committee chairmen, whose patriarchal views and parochial interests generally reflect conservative tendencies. Virginia Democrat How ard Smith, chairman of the Rules Committee, is certain to stand in the way of Administration programs. Missouri's Clarence Cannon, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, last week announced, even before he knew what was in Kennedy's budget, that he intended...
