...sense, Hubert Humphrey arrived on the political scene too late. His brand of liberal was more at home in the mid-New Deal years, when a popular politician was the intellectual spellbinder who opened the floodgates of the U.S. Treasury with his Phi Beta Kappa key and let the dollars flow over the Depression-parched land. Humphrey's problem is painfully shared by all Democratic liberals. In midsummer 1959, it is growing ever clearer that the Democrats have all but come to the end of the line on the New Deal-born issues that have served them...

...presented me with a bill so excessive in the spending it proposes, and so defective in other respects, that it would do far more damage than good." Specific objections: an "excessive" $900 million for urban-renewal outlays coupled with a cut in the share borne by local governments, a brand-new direct loan scheme to build homes for the aged, subsidized loans to build college classrooms, looser requirements on certain classes of FHA loans.

...trained economist, educated at posh Westminster and at Oxford, Gaitskell preaches a brand of socialism that leftists talk scornfully of as "milk and water" ("If we want to snore ourselves to Sweden, this is the way"). As his closest advisers, he prefers university-trained economists rather than the men who have risen from factory and mine.

Bustling about the country with the air of a don doing his best to be folksy, Gaitskell has not been able to match Prime Minister Harold...

...Premier's stock there. Other Japanese fear a disaster like the visit to London of Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fujiyama, who insisted on making a TV appearance. When, with the camera on him, he was shown a box of Japanese ball bearings that copied a well-known British brand and was asked what he had to say, Fujiyama indignantly stalked out, while his agitated aide cried: "Japan has been insulted...

...movie causes curiosity about how the Reds ever got Sputnik off the launching pad. Filmed with three different cameras simultaneously, the images are separated on the wide screen by blurry stripes from top to bottom. The sound track is unpleasantly thunderous, and the Soviet scriptwriters have produced a painful brand of Americanese, delivered through stereophonic loudspeakers located south by southeast of the viewer's ear. Horrible example: "Gee. I'd like to fly on a TU-1O4," says the lady narrator. Reply from the Russian guide (south by southwest): "I think it's just as nice...
