He aided Eisenhower, he said, because he felt Taft's Image as "Mr. Republican" would have proved fatal to the party's chances that year...
...Qualms. In deference to his skill, the Republican Governors' Association last July appointed Evans its campaign chairman.

Costello who is chairman of the Liberal Party, for city council president and for comptroller, Milton Mollen, a Brooklyn Jew who had been with the Democratic administration of retiring...

Many Americans, including Abraham Lincoln, were embarrassed to the point of bitter protest at their country's jumping on Mexico in 1846; rioting draft evaders set part of Manhattan afire during the Civil War. Even draft-card burning is nothing new: Critic Dwight Macdonald put the flame...
