David O. Riesman '31, Ford Professor, another signer of the protest, emphasized the need to "create a field of imaginative discussion of foreign policy alternatives," and the need for "more active bipartisan debate." Commenting on national "complacency at several levels--public, press, and government," Riesman declared that there was "not enough exciting treatment of foreign news by media...
Goldfine learned to be as bipartisan in spreading his scandals as he has been with his money, a fact that further lessened his appeal to Chairman Oren Harris of Arkansas and his Democratic majority.

...With bipartisan support behind him, Smathers last week breached the Administration's previously undentable no-tax-cut line.

Except for growling by Arizona's labor-baiting Republican Senator Barry Goldwater, an almost millennial peace marked the early days of the Kennedy-Ives labor-reform bill. After the Senate Labor Committee voted it out a fortnight ago by a bipartisan margin of 12 to Goldwater, nobody in Washington took up Goldwater's cry that the bill was "milk toast." Labor chieftains kept a discreet silence-understandably, since Massachusetts' John Fitzgerald Kennedy had consulted A.F.L.-C.I.O. brass while he was drafting the bill...
