If Texan Johnson's bandwagon bogs down, Clements' men are convinced that they will be swung over to Missouri's Stuart Symington. But such plans may run into intraparty fire from Lieutenant Governor Wilson Wyatt, who may wind up fighting for a chance to split off some of the votes for Old Friend Stevenson...

They had won new security for their country by the Sinai military campaign against Egypt exactly three years ago last week, and encouraged a new prosperity for their merchants by relaxing their stiffest controls. They had brought a flood of newcomers (and new social problems) from Morocco, Tunisia, Iraq, Iran.
