That foreign policy has for the moment ceased to be a non-partisan issue is not the worst of all this furious talk. It is rather that the President, by failinp to make sure the electorate is sufficiently aware of just how complicated issues like Cuba are, has failed also to stifle public suspicions that Democrats are always appeasing someone. Mr. Kennedy's calculation that he should avoid educating the people to painful realizations in election years is going to backfire badly...
...Saturday there was a House quorum, and the surly Representatives voted down Cannon's money-saving motions. That brought a furious floor blast from Cannon against the whole political atmosphere on the Hill. "Gentlemen," he roared, "justice is for barter and sale to the highest bidder. No one thinks about principle any more. They are ready to sell justice!" Then he proceeded to astonish his colleagues with direct, personal attacks on the leaders of his own party in the House, wound up with a withering slap at Speaker John McCormack. "I have sat under ten Speakers," roared Cannon...
That four-letter word kept echoing in Scranton's ears. The regular Republican organization went right ahead and backed a colorless party trooper for Governor. Ike was furious.

(Is such myth-making in itself a sign of the dissolution of a society? Taylor does not say so, but I think he suggests that the question, at least, is a reasonable one.) Taylor's Prologue consists of a description of the fascinating and wide-ranging correspondence which ex-Presidents Adams and Jefferson carried on for ten years prior...
...nationwide drive to get Americans of all ages vaccinated against polio was snarled last week in a furious controversy over the safety of the Sabin oral vaccine, Type III. Among 1962's relatively few cases of paralytic poliomyelitis (fewer than 450 to date, with the total not expected to exceed 700 for the year) was a handful believed to have been caused by the Sabin vaccine itself. An expert advisory committee called in by the U.S. Public Health Service recommended continuing all Sabin vaccination programs for children, and also ruled Types I and II safe for adults, but left...
