...agree with all that the colonels have done in the past, but history and time will tell whether their simplistic approach to government founded on love for God, country and honor was not, in the end, the most realistic and humane of all approaches. It may be that Americans will grow to envy this simplicity and straightforwardness of the colonels. It may be, too, that old-fashioned country morality is what we in the U.S.A. need most today. Rest assured, the Greek is too individualistic to allow any dictatorship to last. But his tradition-oriented philosophy does not allow...
...outlook more than in anything he has planned or done in his short tenure, Finch gives promise of being a good, perhaps even a great general in domestic battle. On the surface he is super-ordinary, the all-American boy grown up. Blond, blue-eyed, ruggedly good-looking at six feet, he has been an Eagle Scout, prizewinning college debater, Marine officer.

Republican Jim Rhodes has done very well in Ohio politics. He was mayor of Columbus for nearly four terms, and after ten years as state auditor he was picked in 1962 to take on Democratic Governor Mike DiSalle.

For years, reports have flourished that Licavoli's Mafia friends would pay at least $250,000 for his release. In announcing the commutation, Rhodes took pains to observe that an investigation he ordered...
Catholics might well be worse off than before if he does. For all the Catholic criticism of O'Neill, the fact is that he has done his best to alleviate several grievances. He has, for example, worked diligently to make allocation of new housing-a longstanding Catholic grievance-more equitable, and he has pressed hard for the appointment of an ombudsman to investigate complaints against the national government. In Londonderry, the all-Protestant city corporation and rural council were abolished this year in favor of a city council that includes five Protestants and four Catholics. In addition, some...
