Less Than Omnipotent. Kennedy has come to realize that national and international issues look much different from the President's chair than from a candidate's rostrum. There are fewer certainties, and far more complexities. "We must face problems which do not lend themselves to easy, quick or permanent solutions," he said recently in Seattle. "And we must face the fact that the U.S. is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, and that we cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity, and that therefore there cannot be an American solution for every world problem...

As never before, economic realities now lend powerful support to demands for a Channel link. Cross-Channel transport of cars, which had been expected to rise by 30% in the past three years, actually rose 54%; where there were 5,750,000 cross-Channel passengers in 1957, current estimates are that there will be 11,400,000 in 1965. To handle this mounting load by present means, Britain alone would have to spend...
