...transatlantic spans that have long linked the U.S. and Western Europe are beginning to sag. There was evidence of change everywhere last week: in London, where Prime Minister Harold Wilson declared that Britain wanted to join Europe as a "pillar of equal strength" with the U.S.-and clamp a collar on American investments; in Paris, where Charles de Gaulle, pointedly turning his back on the Atlantic, told visiting Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin that "our Europe is a whole" even in Bonn, where West Germany's new Chancellor declared: "We wish to have relations of trust with every nation, including...
...political terms. The Swedish and Norwegian workingmen of North Minneapolis traditionally, and still do, vote Democratic; the richer Scandinavians of suburban Minneapolis and the richer farms of southern Minnesota habitually vote Republican. In Chicago's 1963 mayoralty election, Republican Candidate Benjamin Adam-owski carried all the Polish blue-collar wards in the inner city but lost the vote of the richer Poles living in the suburbs. Even with Negroes, who have the added problem of color, the economic pattern is the same. Richard Nixon's share of the Negro vote in 1960 was three times as high...

Negro militancy has siphoned off much support from urban Italians, Irish and Slavs. The war has disenchanted many intellectuals.

California's Brown, who had the support of labor leaders but lost the rank-and-file vote, noted: "Workers used to ask about workmen's compensation and disability insurance. Not this time. The workers have become aristocrats, and when they become aristocrats, they become Republicans...
...muster enough steam to beat a 3-to-l Democratic registration among the state's 900,000 voters. In the topsy-turvy campaign, Republican Agnew has the support of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and even of the Baltimore chapter of A.D.A. Mahoney has shown notable strength among blue-collar workers in Baltimore and low-income homeowners in the suburbs. To beat him, Negro leaders in Baltimore would have to deliver almost all of their 140,000 votes for Agnew...
