nuclear testing; a spectator's cry of "Down with Kennedy" drew lusty echoes.* L. Brent Bozell-Yale classmate ('50) and brother-in-law of conservative National Review Editor William F. Buckley Jr., intellectual paladin of the Right-listed demands for the U.S. to launch a policy of victory over Communism, and each proposal brought an approving roar from the crowd. Let these orders be issued, said Bozell: "To the Joint Chiefs of Staff: Make the necessary preparations for a landing in Havana." "To our commander in Berlin: Tear down the Wall." "To our chief of mission...
...lack of national leadership has led to the rise of regional demagogues, who have grabbed headlines for personal political gain. Leading the parade is Leftist Governor Leonel Brizola of Rio Grande do Sul state, a brother-in-law of Goulart, who in January began inciting peasants to occupy privately owned plantations. Last month Brizola stirred an international storm (and sorely embarrassed Goulart, who is to visit the U.S. next month to ask for $589,200,000 in Alliance for Progress aid) with his seizure of the International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. subsidiary in his state.

...becomes the "public nightmare" of World War II is adumbrated in this book, as Hughes makes clear his conviction that historic events are rooted in the mysterious metaphysics of the heart.

Shriver hopes to squelch before they happen any embarrassing incidents in Peace Corps activities overseas, for the sake of the corps of course, and maybe with an eye to Illinois, too. Last week he forehandedly assigned an aide to "think about all the possible problems we could have anywhere and see if we can head them off." All of which could pose a "possible problem" for his kinsman in the White House: with...
Missing Link. California's Tomor is one of 484 Peace Corpsmen now on station in underdeveloped nations around the world. Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver, who is President Kennedy's brother-in-law, explains his organization's mission in broad terms: "The process of education in a new society is long and slow. There are important jobs to be filled before that process can produce enough trained people. The missing link in these newly developing nations is often for middle-manpower-men and women to do jobs until local people can be trained to take on this...
