Indeed, driving across the country this fall, a foreigner might conclude that the U.S. has a no-party system. In state after state, signs blazon forth the candidates' names, faces and slogans, but, often as not, neglect to mention, or note only in microscopic type, whether they are Democrats or Republicans (see billboards). "Whatever your party -he is your man," proclaim the posters of Iowa's John Kyi. "Vote Volpe-he does what he says" is the message in Massachusetts; "Milton Shapp, a man you can trust!" in Pennsylvania; "Sparkman best for Alabama" in the Yellowhammer state. Even...

To date, Operation Prairie has killed 943 Reds, and the Marines have taken moderate casualties in the process...
Historically, Americans have rarely been aroused to the urgency of foreign policy issues until the point of crisis was at hand. In peacetime -- when foreign affairs are subordinated to domestic concerns--it is customary for the President and/or the State Department to carry forth as they see fit, and to attempt to educate the public on the few occasions when a break with traditional policy seems necessary...
