Decidedly Different. It all seemed pretty familiar-the homey pitch, the church-folk tone, the appeal to kinship. But as Orval Faubus canvassed Arkansas last week, something was decidedly different.

Gone were his sarcastic references to "outsiders," to federal troops, to the Supreme Court, to the monstrous, power-grabbing U.S. Government.

When the red light flashes and the bell rings, the diner, who by now feels a kinship to Pavlov's dog, gets his chow on disposable plates...
...consequences of failure. "The greatest danger to a President's potential influence," wrote Columbia Professor Richard Neustadt in Presidential Power (a book Kennedy liked so well that he hired Neustadt as a consultant on Government organization), "is not the show of incapacity he makes today, but its apparent kinship to what happened yesterday, last month, last year. For if his failures seem to form a pattern, the consequence is bound to be a loss of faith in his effectiveness 'next time...
