With Election Year 1960 pressing hard, Republicans hope to present to the voters an image of the G.O.P. as the party of peace and prosperity. But hope is one thing, success is quite another, and party images are often based on long-held feelings and fears that remain almost unchanged in the face of current facts. Thus, by 1952, after three wars under Democratic administrations, the G.O.P. had established itself in the popular mind as the party most likely to keep world peace. The seven peaceful years of the Eisenhower Administration have done little to change that image for better...
However much sense they made-and they made a great deal-LeMay's remarks inevitably brought an outraged reaction from the hard-lobbying, politically potent National Guard Association, which sees a threat to the Guard's existence behind every career general's star. The militiamen, holding their national convention in San Antonio last week, cheered Texas Governor Price Daniel's charge that LeMay is an enemy of states' rights-"the typical Federal-minded bureaucrat that thinks the Federal Government has to run everything."

But as the trial progressed, a painfully familiar story emerged: in 1951 on a jaunt to nearby Bad Neuenahr Casino, Roden caught the roulette bug, began to drop as much...
...novelty, consumer credit caused no traffic jam in the stores. Reason: the hard-to-get goods in greatest demand, such as automobiles, refrigerators and TV sets, were conspicuously missing from the credit list. And lest the Russian shopper think that the consumer millennium is just around the corner, Premier Khrushchev, on his way back to Moscow from Peking, told a Vladivostok audience that the U.S.S.R. has no intention of trying to equal U.S. automobile output. "We will use automobiles more rationally than the Americans do," he said. "We are going to establish taxi pools, where people can use cars when...
