...vote-heavy Southern California are lukewarm for Kennedy. The Democratic organization is sundered into half a dozen wings. By contrast, Nixon has crafted an able cadre of workers since 1946, and they have overcome the chaos left by the Knight-Knowland fight for the gubernatorial nomination in 1958. Khrushchev is a big issue, and Cabot Lodge is warmly regarded. On his home grounds, Nixon leads...
...sensitive to bias and bigotry. (Said Congressman Frank Thompson Jr., leader of the Democrats' nationwide voter-registration drive, in a speech at a Levittown luncheon fortnight ago: "If they get a Catholic this time, they'll get a Jew the next time, then a Negro.") Khrushchev helps the Republicans, and so does the memory of Cabot Lodge just across the river at the U.N.

But then, he is not used to sitting quietly in parliamentary bodies where everyone may speak freely in turn. As the week began, U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold. emboldened by the Assembly's 70-0 vote endorsing his policies in the Congo, briefly but eloquently punctured Khrushchev's proposal to abolish the office of Secretary-General in favor of a veto-ridden three-man directorate. Implicitly accusing the Soviets of trying to oust him because he had opposed...
