...Republican candidates across the country, partly because he can help them win and strengthen the party, partly because he hopes to have the favor returned at the" 1964 G.O.P. convention. Few Nixon strategists seriously consider the idea of bypassing '64 for '68; win or lose, the next Republican presidential nominee would become titular head of the party, and Nixon would be frozen...
...produced only former Senator Herbert Lehman, avuncular head of a small reform Democrat movement. James A. Farley, far removed from the inner circles of New York politics, and blustering Mike Quill, president of the Transport Workers Union. With such a ragtag army, Wagner is almost sure to lose to Levitt if he insists on entering the Democratic primary.

At that time voters will have to make their choice from a list including not only Wagner and Levitt, but also Republican...
Sandys' first stop was New Zealand, which, surprisingly, made the least fuss despite the fact that it stands to lose the most should Britain cuts its Common wealth trade ties.

Lake Erie steelmakers enjoy cheaper ore imports but suffer stiffer foreign competition, because imported steel is cheaper when brought in through the St. Lawrence...
...death. From Fossalta on, Hemingway had death as an obsession; the bullfight gave it to him esthetically, as a ritual, with order and discipline. In Death in the Afternoon, he states his tragic creed flatly: "There is no remedy for anything in life." His Winner Takes Nothing; his lovers lose all. His fictional stages are strewn with corpses. In To Have and Have Not, there are twelve, which compares favorably with the Elizabethans. Nemesis, in the Hemingway tragedy, is bad luck. "I was going good," says Manuel, the gored bullfighter in The Undefeated, "I didn't have any luck...
