...Coalition. In that statement lay the sum and substance of Scranton's campaign strategy. If he is to perform the near miracle of heading off Goldwater, he must convince the G.O.P. and the nation that 1) Barry would run so badly against President Johnson as to drag down and perhaps defeat Republican candidates at all levels, and 2) he, Bill Scranton, would have a far better chance against Johnson, might even win, and in any event would enhance the chances of other G.O.P. candidates...
Police State? Reading rapidly and tonelessly, Goldwater declared that he had always been "unalterably opposed to discrimination." But he insisted that the real remedy lay in the good will in the human heart. The legislation that reached the Senate after passage in the House, he said, was produced by "sledgehammer political tactics."

Few priests would ever refuse Communion to a stranger,*although most churches will not allow uncon firmed members to assume lay offices...
...next clue lay in the cross's 108 figures and more than 60 inscriptions in Latin and Greek, mostly serving an ugly propaganda purpose. Rather than celebrate Christ's ascension, hexameters such as "synagogue falls after vain and stupid effort," rail against Christ's "assassins." The Jews, shown in the conical caps that they wore in medieval times, jostle and mock Christ. The placard over the missing figure of Christ reads "Jesus of Nazareth King of the Confessors" instead of "Jews." And it is written in backwards Latin rather than properly in Hebrew, to emphasize rejection...
