...Democratic tide slapped hard against Republican pilings 18 months ago when Democrats won slender control of Congress while Dwight Eisenhower swept to his re-election victory. It swirled and eddied ominously when traditionally Republican, Midwestern Wisconsin sent Democrat William Proxmire to the Senate ten months ago to fill the late Joe McCarthy's seat, and again last month when more Democrats turned out in the Ohio primaries than at any time in the last 20 years. Last week it surged unmistakably across politically powerful California, the G.O.P.'s last outpost on the West Coast. In the popularity-poll...
...battle for Governor, Democrat Brown 1) bested Bill Knowland in
the combined Republican-Democratic total by 606,000 votes, 2) ran ahead

In the first flush of primary humiliation California Republicans showed signs of falling farther apart. Knowland at week's end had still avoided a direct Knight endorsement; Knight similarly ignored Big Bill. Appalled at the feuding, other G.O.P. nominees pulled back...
...touch: "Max has done a magnificent job for the underprivileged, for the little man, for the minority group. The only underprivileged man he's forgotten is me. I could use some help around the White House. I've never gotten any." For another Rabb wellwisher, Democrat Kennedy's toast was just too much. "Jack," exploded New Jersey Republican Clifford Case, "I've been around Washington a few years now, and if there's one guy that isn't underprivileged, it's you. That's the worst joke I've heard...
