...against was evident in the jeering reception that the task force's report got from much of New York's press. "Ridiculous," cried Long Island's Newsday. "Smells of defeatism," muttered the New York Daily News. In rare agreement, the Wall Street Journal and the Fair Dealish New York Post cried that deterrent power, not shelters, is the only safeguard against nuclear attack...
Perhaps more than anyone else, McCormack will be guided this year by the 1958 election results. In the 85th Congress he knew that every time he scheduled a New Dealish labor or welfare bill for floor action, he could expect about 40 Southern conservatives to join with a big majority of the 200 House Republicans in blocking the legislation. But there are far fewer Republicans, far more liberal Democrats in the 86th Congress. "We have a good working majority," says McCormack. "The coalition will be ineffective." Another McCormack rule of thumb: the later in the session that a piece...
...political" made scant sense in view of the strenuous arguments by some of the President's own Cabinet members that, in the mood of the times, taking a stand on a balanced budget is politically unprofitable (see Republicans).

...Spare. An outspoken advocate of New Dealish reforms in Italy, Fanfani promptly looked left. Aided by Italy's Christian Democratic President Giovanni Gronchi, Fanfani won agreement from Giuseppe Saragat's Social Democrats to join him in a left-of-center anti-Communist coalition. The Christian Democrats' 272 votes and the Social Democrats' 22 votes still fell four short of a majority in the Chamber. With the votes of one French-speaking and three German-speaking Deputies from autonomous border regions, and the support of Typewriter Tycoon Adriano Olivetti, who captured one seat for his "Community" movement...
...unquestioned devoutness is a target in a campaign marked by anticlerical attacks. His New-Dealish social program makes him unpalatable to conservative Christian Democrats. His all-out organizing methods antagonize the other democratic middle-road parties, whose support has been essential to Christian Democratic rule since 1953 (he lasted only twelve days in his one fling at the premiership four years ago). A recent poll showed that not Fanfani, the party leader, but former Premier and now Foreign Minister Giuseppe Pella is the most popular Christian Democrat in Italy...
