...likely that power within the Democratic Party will shift more and more toward the moderates, and its leaders will be more in line with the national Party. Spong's impressive victory could also dampen a potentially explosive split among Virginia's Democrats. His candidacy against Robertson in the Primary was closely watched by the "extreme" liberal wing of the Party. Should he have failed, strident anti-Machine candidates would have been in a much stronger position to demand a crack at statewide offices in 1969. If this polarization ever occurs, it will seriously impair Democratic chances in Virginia for many...
Bowdoin, however, is not one of these powers, and should not dampen anyone's optimism when it hosts the Crimson skaters for their '66-'67 debut tonight in Brunswick, Maine. Last year the Polar Bears were victimized at Harvard's Watson Rink in the most lopsided of the Crimson's ten wins, 9-2.

Okun put it more strongly. Said he of the Korean-style control system: "There is no earthly reason...
...Plea for Sanity." Plainly, Hanoi hopes that by punishing Americans it would help dampen U.S. determination to prosecute the war - or at least discourage continued bombing. Actually, the effect would certainly be precisely the opposite, inflaming the American public and all but eliminating the domes tic dissension that Ho Chi Minh interprets as evidence that the U.S. will pull out of Viet Nam. Indeed, warned Georgia's Richard B. Russell, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, executions of American pilots would "bring about the application of power that will make a desert of their country...
