...city Democratic machines are well organized, well heeled, well manned-and working round the clock to register new voters. Their speakers use the religion issue to stimulate the sympathy of the state's Catholics (39%), as well as the many Jews and Negroes, who are sensitive to bias and bigotry. (Said Congressman Frank Thompson Jr., leader of the Democrats' nationwide voter-registration drive, in a speech at a Levittown luncheon fortnight ago: "If they get a Catholic this time, they'll get a Jew the next time, then a Negro.") Khrushchev helps the Republicans, and so does...
...endear him to those who want to raise the level of the campaign. A wildly partisan essay, Kennedy or Nixon? adds nothing substantially new to the campaign, and tends to detract from Mr. Schlesinger's reputation as an historian. In a brief foreword, the professor confesses his political bias, but adds, "I will rest my argument whenever possible on hard and verifiable facts; and my way, I hope, will be the way of reasoned analysis."

It may be good or bad, but its author intended it to be good. and wrote it by putting word after word. The nonbook is usually not written at all but assembled with the help of scissors or tape recorder or some other mechanical device. The concern of the nonbook manufacturer is not that...
Beloved Husband. Prime Minister Sirimavo is the weeping widow of a much-loved man. Solomon West Ridgeway Bias Bandaranaike, known to all Ceylon as "Banda," who ruled Ceylon for three years as a benevolently bumbling leftist, then was shot to death last September by a Buddhist monk. When elections were called for March, the hack politicians of Banda's Sri Lanka Freedom Party paraded his widow about the country not as a candidate but as a figurehead, and backed her up with the dead man's recorded speeches. Sri Lanka nonetheless managed to get only enough seats...
