Most likely, though, any purge or reform must await the return of a strong Democratic president with the guts to lend his prestige to the effort. Not since FDR has the presidential party ever amassed enough muscle to intimidate the congressional party-although the prospects have improved somewhat since the Johnson-Rayburn days. While Galbraith may be right about the Dixie nemesis, no one should expect the Democratic Party to inflict on itself a massive internal bleeding in its current state of health. With perhaps a lingering nostalgia for the days of Southern populism, some liberals expect the problem...
...Politics. Nixon justly regarded the speech as a political triumph and afterward waded into the student crowd for several minutes of ebullient handshaking. He later said that he regretted not being able to visit other, more militant campuses. Turning quickly to more conventional politics, he flew to Chicago to lend his prestige to Senator Ralph Smith's campaign against Adlai Stevenson III.

...struggle by Investors Overseas Services to shore up its finances, the most puzzling phenomenon has been the proffered help of a little-known New Jersey manufacturer, International Controls Corp. It seemed odd that I.C.C. should be anxious to lend up to $15 million to the troubled mutual-fund complex despite opposition by I.O.S.'s temporarily ousted founder, Bernie Cornfeld. After all, European bankers from the Rothschilds on down had sidestepped urgent invitations to come to the rescue. Yet this week I.C.C. President Robert L. Vesco is due in Geneva to sign the loan papers. "Our motive is simple...
