...extent, it is. After plumbing the depth, of public support for Carswell, Kirk and Gurney invited the judge to Gurney's Winter Park, Fla., home and persuaded him to make the race. Then, says Gurney, "We decided to run it past Harry Dent," the South Carolinian who is Nixon's chief political adviser for the South. Gurney says that Dent and Rogers C.B. Morton, the Republican national chairman, bought the idea. But Morton flatly denies it. When Dent called Morton, seemingly trying to get him to ask Cramer to step aside for Carswell, Morton says he refused. Later...
...Colorado early in 1967, ten states have moderately liberalized their century-old abortion laws. Even so, the new laws have hardly made an appreciable dent in the number of illegal abortions, estimated to be as high as 1,500,000 annually. Dissatisfied with what they regard as tokenism, abortion reformers have since mounted campaigns in several states to abolish all penalties for abortions, provided they are performed by licensed physicians in approved hospitals.

The failure of this compassionate, unassuming, and eminently sensible man to make more than a dent in the unsentimental machinery of world relations-even our most erudite president. John Kennedy, saw him as a quaint,slightly mad thought-peddlar-personifies the impasse that the youth culture's "na?ve" brand of polities crashes against. We should remember Bertrand Russell, for his disappointment is our tragedy...
