...major danger to the patient remained internal infection. Despite the surgeons' heroic cleanup of the intestinal spillage from the first bullet, some bacteria remained and caused abscesses. Nine days after the operation, pus began to ooze from the surgical incision, and doctors detected an abscess in the left flank. Under local anesthesia, they cut into and drained the infection. Even with massive doses of antibiotics, Wallace now had peritonitis (a potentially fatal inflammation of the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity). It was then that the Governor was very near death. To be effective, antibiotics must reach bacteria through...
...still the personable but plodding campaigner. McGovern's success is a combination of his persistence and a new, high-powered, appealingly unprofessional organization. Without the aggressiveness of Bobby Kennedy or the aloofness of Eugene McCarthy, McGovern has forged a coalition of followers from both camps. On one flank are such "Kennedy men" as Advisers John Kenneth Galbraith and Arthur Schlesinger Jr., former Kennedy Press Secretaries Pierre Salinger and Frank Mankiewicz, Writers Richard Goodwin and Adam Walinsky. (His principal financial contributors are Max Palevsky, chairman of the Xerox Executive Committee, and Henry Kimelman, board chairman of West Indies Corp...
With the U.S. convinced that a stable non-Communist government in Greece is essential to the security of NATO'S southern flank, and with his political enemies dispirited or exiled, Papadopoulos would seem to be reasonably secure.

During the past year, though, the Christian Democrats have suddenly found their right flank exposed. In last June's local elections, the Neo-Fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano made substantial gains by preaching the need for more law-and-order. Now the M.S.I, is trying to rally Catholics to its banner on a referendum against a controversial divorce law that Parliament passed in 1970. In order to keep the vote of Italy's conservative Catholics, the Christian Democrats cannot openly oppose the referendum-but a waffling stance threatens their alliance with the Socialists, who are adamantly opposed to repeal...
...anybody in the government to make sense on the ABM, for I regarded that as basically a political decision. There was no question in my mind that Mr. Johnson made the the deployment decision for political reasons. He still expected to run for President, and he was protecting his flank by making that thin ABM decision. At least this is my view of what he did. There was no rationale to justify the ABM that I could see, and I decided to see if this waste for political reasons could be stopped...
