...Force Base, Md. in the VIP-styled Boeing 707 that took him to Western Europe in August. He will stop off in Rome to reassure Italy's Premier Antonio Segni that Italy, though not included in the Western summit, is not forgotten. He will also talk with Pope John XXIII. Thence via Turkey, Pakistan and Soviet-influenced Afghanistan (see map) the President will fly into New Delhi for five days of talks with Nehru and his advisers, for the opening of the U.S. exhibit, and a "very major" foreign policy speech (also for some sightseeing, including Agra...

Though both candidates preached the same sermon-revitalize Boston's sagging economy-Underdog Collins made his gains by continuous attacks on Powers' massive political support ("Power politics"), which included the backing of Richard Cardinal Gushing and Senator John Kennedy. In the final week Collins capitalized on a published photo of a police-raided gambling house that was plastered with a Powers...
