...Neva Goodwin's "Mark Hatfield, Western Progressive" is a treacly success story of the sort I had hoped not to meet again in this journal. Emil Frankel's "Crisis in Republican Tradition" is a bizarre blending of truism, commonplace, and political myth appropriately flavored with citations from Russell Kirk and Goals For Americans. "Dynamic energy," Frankel insists, "Vibrant center. Creative traditionalism," and concludes that "It is the danger of depersonalization and conformity which must be fought in out society." I still don't know what liberal Republicans are. If they are simply a Crolyite fan club, why doesn't Frankel...
...appointed Thomas Mann in temporary charge of the State Department desk, but gave policy shaping to Old New Dealer Adolf Berle, 66, chairman of a special Latin America task force. Kennedy also assigned Arthur Schlesinger as a one-man presidential troubleshooter for the continent, later gave Speechwriter Richard Goodwin, 29, responsibility for Cuban affairs. At the time of the Bay of Pigs debacle, Kennedy called Rostow and Bundy away from their paper planning on Laos to give advice on Cuba; Nitze and Attorney General Robert Kennedy added their potent voices in council. Fortnight ago, the President created still another Latin...

Author of the Alliance. Closest to being a top man in Latin American affairs these days is White House Aide Richard Goodwin, 29, who has just taken over control of Cuban operations from Nitze at Kennedy's orders. A former TV quiz-scandal investigator who proved a valuable campaign speechwriter for Kennedy last fall, Goodwin wrote Kennedy's highly successful speech introducing his hemispheric "Alliance for Progress." Later, Goodwin was sent to size up Brazil's U.S.-shy President Jánio Quadros shortly before the abortive Cuban venture. So sweeping is Goodwin's new authority...
Last week Goodwin was busy trying to rebuild on the wreckage of the exile Revolutionary Council. At best, the council was a shaky coalition of the leftist People's Revolutionary Movement (M.R.P.) of Engineer Manolo Ray and the more conservative groups behind the Democratic Revolutionary Front (the Frente) of Manuel Antonio Varona. The Frente faction talks wishfully of organizing an anti-Communist crusade of 20,000 Latin Americans to storm Castroland...
