...this year, and badly needs the 70,000 vote plurality Hudson County could give him. Moreover, Meyner, a potential Democratic presidential candidate for 1960. needs to be re-elected by a handsome margin if he intends to stay in the big time. Says Murray, waiting for the governor to desert Kenny and come his way: "Meyner has to win big to look big." It was a pronouncement worthy of the man who now thinks he will control Jersey City's big Democratic vote just as well as John Kenny ever...

And there today, in the limitless stretches of land over which these giants stood silent sentinel for centuries, is a whole new world...
...telephoned insistence that Syria's President Kuwatly-accompanied by Nasser's top aide, Ali Sabri-journeyed to Riyadh, where the desert King lectured the two of them like a displeased father and more or less ordered them to stop interfering in Jordan's "strictly internal" affairs. No sooner had they left (without even the formality of the usual communique praising Arab "unity"), than Saud got on the phone again to invite Hussein to Riyadh. Hussein hustled down by air last week, and King Saud gave him a big pep talk on the importance of keeping...
