...this Protestant will vote for Kennedy. I would like to get the word around that one does not have to embrace the Catholic faith to vote for him. There are some who reject the doctrine of the infallibility of the Pope but accept the doctrine of the infallibility of Ike without batting an eyelash...
Even to neutralists' skeptic eyes, the contrast between Ike's performance and Khrushchev's was stark.

There the two old enemies made their first formal greetings since September 1956, but it was obvious that both were ill at ease. "How do you spend your time here?" Tito began tentatively. Answered K.: "I have a little balcony. I go out and walk back and forth and take...
