If we look at the Republican Party we find three, not two, kinds of politicians competing for leadership and control.

He has not even gained eminence as a spokesman for liberal Republicanism as have Senators Javits, Kuchel, and Case. On only one issue--the Cuban missile crisis--has Keating come to the forefront; and then at the expense of responsibility...
