Milton Eisenhower, diplomat and scholar, collected his wisdom from ser vice with eight Presidents. He wrote messages for Calvin Coolidge, was a global troubleshooter for Roosevelt and worked a bit for John Kennedy, long enough so that he came to believe J.F.K. would have been a great President if he had lived...
...logical thing would be for Ecevit and Demirel to team up in a "grand coalition" of their two parties, which together poll more than 70% of the vote. Both are very near the center, with the Justice Party leaning a bit to the right and the Republicans to the left. But such a coalition appears impossible, because of the personal animosity and bitter rivalry between the two men.

All across the nation idealistic young workers are leading the Kennedy charge with cries of "Chappawhat? Mary Jo who? Forget S 1." Ted's record in the Senate is one of long and principled support for progressive legislation, from full employment to national health to tax reform. But S1 and its renumbered offshoots make you stop and think again. Nixon wanted above all to stamp out the demonstrators who were impeding his efforts in Vietnam, and the journalists...
