Near week's end, Rockefeller aides let it be known that Rocky had not said it all at Puerto Rico; that the Governor well realized that there is only one true and final poll on the presidency: the general election. Nelson Rockefeller prepared to make his position clearer...
Therein, feels Gibney, lies Poland's immense value to the West; the country is "a pilot-study in Communist decay." As the stone of Red repression was temporarily rolled away and the life underneath suddenly laid bare, it became clearer than ever that the Communist state, even when men try to liberalize it, cannot do without coercion and police power. Author Gibney finds another way of saying this, in the words of a witty Polish intellectual. In a small Jewish congregation, so goes the story, a young Communist was puzzling about one of Stalin's famous slogans...
Last week too, the Nixon party returned from behind the Iron Curtain with a big conclusion that helped put the U.S.S.R. and the cold war into clearer focus: the economic gap between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. is still enormous.

And as at no other time since F.D.R.'s day, the best intellects of the Democratic Party are searching for a meaningful role...
Quantitative to Qualitative. While most liberals are clearer, at this point, about what they are not than about what they are, some are giving deep thought to the future. A chorus of liberal ayes greeted Columnist Walter Lippmann's recent definition of the mission of the Democratic Congress: "It would be to prepare public opinion for the future, which is not yet here but is near at hand. It would be to prepare public opinion for the decade of the '60s, which, assuming that there is no war, is bound to be an era of great innovation...
