...nation requires some truthful and objective answers. If the 1959 morals arrest that is now revealed indicates Jenkins' vulnerability to Soviet blackmail during these years, and if this dangerous fact has been concealed by President Johnson, then the fitness of this Administration not only to govern but to defend this nation from its enemies must be examined...
...humiliation when the U.S. forced him to retreat. Where Stalin, armed with nothing tougher than tanks, had grabbed great swatches of territory and threatened other countries (Spain, Korea and Greece), Khrushchev, despite his ICBMs and thermonuclear terror, could gain nothing more than a small Caribbean island-and not even defend it.

Isaacs managed Kerner's successful 1960 race for Governor, was rewarded by appointment to the $15,000 job as director of state revenue. He ran the Revenue Department, which collects some 75% of the state's cash...
...sweep a three-game series with the lowly Mets. who had won only 51 games all season. "Glad you're coming back," cracked Cardinal Manager Johnny Keane to Mets Manager Casey Stengel. "We need you." Like a hole in the head. The first time they tried to defend their league lead, the Cardinals committed three errors, and even the presence of an ally in the enemy infield was not enough to help. In the eighth inning, St. Louis loaded up the bases when Umpire Ed Vargo booted an easy two-out grounder before the Mets could field...
