...chance it will require ticket splitting of heroic and historic proportions. In this, Ken Keating finds himself in the same dilemma as Republican candidates in a score of other states. For as Election Year 1964 nears its end, the big political question is less whether Barry will win or lose than how many Republicans he will drag to defeat...
...then carried to the full Central Committee, where a majority-but a bare one, some reports indicating as little as one vote-decided against him. Thus the coup makers had precluded the fate of the 1957 "antiparty group," which had mustered a party Presidium majority against Khrushchev only to lose when the vote came in the Central Committee.

Balanchine does not like to see a dancer transform his choreography into a vehicle for her own virtuosity. "You have to watch out," says one member of the troupe.

Volpe has suggested three basic tax reforms to solve the fiscal crisis: a modest sales tax, a modified income tax, and an increase in governmental fees. Most attention in the press has centered on the sales tax, a proposal which may lose Volpe many votes. Advocacy of this tax says much for the ex-Governor's economic acumen and political courage. Though the sales tax falls more heavily on lower-income tax groups, it is generally recognized as the most effective means of raising tax revenues and has been advocated by many Democrats, Peabody and Mayor Collins among them...
