...that's only half the battle, as Bond readily admits. He must also do the same thing that he described to the audience at Babson: devise new alternatives coupled with political power. "This involves politicizing poor whites as well as blacks," Bond says. "In the main, the poor white and most blacks in the South are facing the same kinds of political and economic oppression. This is why building alliances between economic strata of whites and blacks is going to be so crucial to cracking the oppressive syndrome of southern politics. Something that won't change as quickly...
This is one reason many anti-war Democrats are swallowing their pride, abusing their sensibilities, and planning reluctantly to back Hubert. It is probably the main ideological reason McCarthy will soon endorse the Vice President. But to some McCarthy backers, noisily evident Friday, not even the arms control controversy is sufficient reason to back Lyndon's boy, especially after Chicago. Not surprisingly, the loudest cheers at the rally came after McCarthy stuck a satiric rapier in Hubert's invisible back...
...tall, dark brown pillar of a man, works out of a seven-by-seven foot office allotted for the president. He is involved--unlike most bank presidents--in the day-to-day business of the bank and spends almost half his time assisting individual customers in the bank's main room.

Previously, the United Front Foundation had the largest account. Brandeis, Andover Theological School, Northeastern University, and Boston College have all become depositors and M.I.T. is a stockholder...
...could ruin the negotiations. Alan Turner, a counterespionage agent reminiscent of the half-burnt-out, seedy Alec Leamas of The Spy Who Came In from the Cold, has been sent from London to find Harting and recapture the missing documents. So far, a familiar situation. But Turner's main antagonists are not foreign spies; they are the British embassy officials themselves-a caste-conscious, emotionally aborted, washed-out crew of professional liars...
