...causes for general Republican disaster, none was more sharply pinpointed by pundits and editorial writers (see JUDGMENTS & PROPHECIES) than presidential leadership. At a strictly political level, President Eisenhower showed little interest in his party. Last week even loyal Eisenhower-Republican Senator Cliff Case of New Jersey was moved to comment on Ike's lack of "love of politics and the political game." Said Utah's G.O.P.

...Barry Goldwater, the Times took a second look, cautiously rated the race (which Goldwater won handily) a "toss-up." It missed Hugh Scott's Republican victory in Pennsylvania's Senate race, and Republican Senator John Bricker's defeat in Ohio.

Obviously, some other processes were at work...
...LATIN AMERICA. With one-third of the world's Catholics (172,271,000), Latin America has the smallest number of priests per capita in the world-one to every 4,810 Catholics. In addition to the relatively low educational level of the churchmen there (even including bishops), the Catholic Church is threatened in Latin America by a major development of Protestant missions.
