Winning Formula. To his dismay, Kennedy found himself running poorly among New York's 2,500,000 Jews, who gave nearly 90% of their votes to his brother in 1960, and its 1,500,000 Italians. Keating's managers talk of getting half of the Jewish vote, two-fifths of the Italian vote-and that, combined with normal G.O.P. majorities upstate and in the suburbs, would be a winning formula...

Even the Pope's offer "to intervene" in the disputes between contending peoples is hardly novel; some of the darkest pages of Western history are stained with papal interventions. Your diagnosis...
...antagonists, Russia and Turkey, have agreed to build a joint hydroelectric complex on the Arpa-Cayi river, long their barbed and bristling common border. Hardly a week goes by without new and major infusions of capital from Western Europe into the East, as Europe's trade, to U.S. dismay, increasingly ignores the red flags (see WORLD BUSINESS...
