...Miami Herald is not only Flor ida's largest newspaper (circ. 369,000) but a most outspoken crusader against crime and corruption. Three years ago, its chronic complaints about law en forcement in the Miami area were directed at Dade County State Attorney Richard Gerstein, the powerful and popular (if unsuccessful) prosecutor of Candy Mossier, ex-president of the Na tional District Attorneys' Association and much-decorated B-17 navigator. The Herald often wondered aloud why Ger stein kept turning up at race tracks, gam bling casinos in the Bahamas, and the Miami area's less savory...
Portugal is Western Europe's poorest nation. Its population numbers under 9,000,000, and its natural resources are scant.

This group, the Texas Democratic Coalition, primarily McCarthyite, is setting up a parallel party structure across the state. Other liberals...
...policy--the polarization is too great now. The only way to change the policies is by building a parallel party structure outside the state structure. This involves isolating the liberal block further, and brings up another major problem, what happens when the liberal block realizes that it is a chronic minority with no hope of ever winning office. Even with national party recognition as in Mississippi this problem is being faced for the first time...
