...Before I drown in the flood of tears for Walter Jenkins, may 1 ask if I am alone in feeling that he forfeited his right to sympathy when he chose to ignore the vulnerability of his position, even after it became a matter of record?

...magnitude of the President's conquest also swept many other Democrats, such as Governor Otto Kerner in Illinois and, most notably, Senate Candidate Robert Kennedy in New York, to victory. Yet perhaps the most fascinating facet of the election was the amazing amount of ticket splitting, as voters chose L.B.J.-and then skipped down the ballot to vote for deserving Republican candidates (see The Senate and The Governors stories).

Originally applied to German Lutherans in 1529, "Protestant" then implied rejection of papal authority, which Anglicans had stood for since Henry VIII; the word also paid tribute to the influence of Luther, Calvin and other Continental reformers on Anglican doctrine and liturgy. "Episcopal," on the other hand, was a reminder that Anglicanism preserved the ancient tradition of rule by bishops, and was still a branch of the "one, holy, Catholic and apostolic church...
