...Jersey's right-wing Republicans have been trying to commit fratricide against Clifford Case, the G.O.P. senatorial candidate, ever since Case denounced Joe McCarthy (TIME, July 19). Soon after that, 10,000 circulars titled "The Case Against Case" went out across the state. The circulars attacked the ex-Congressman as the candidate of the C.I.O. and the A.D.A. and an enemy of the late Bob Taft.

The explosive revelation meant real trouble for every New Jersey Republican running this year, including Clifford Case...
...Kaiser Foundation's Dr. Clifford Keene promptly asked for an amendment to recognize that "freedom of choice" is satisfied where the subscriber elects, of his own volition, to be treated by a group or a single doctor within a group. That was the heart of the matter. Suave and diplomatic ex-President Louis H. Bauer saw the trouble that would be caused by the issue and suggested that the A.M.A.'s judicial council takes a year to think it over. The delegates jumped at the idea...
