...Yorker, I am perfectly happy to have the opportunity to vote for Robert Kennedy as a U.S. Senator from New York. Some people forget that the Senate was meant, through longer tenure and fewer members, to serve as a less provincial legislative body than the House of Representatives. New Yorkers have 41 Representatives and another Senator to serve the state's selfish sectional interests. A Senator experienced and interested in the welfare of the whole nation should be welcome in an already too-provincial chamber...
...right to use any weapons, including atomic weapons?" asked a reporter. "I would suggest you read his admonition to the commander of the Seventh Fleet in which he said to use any weapons," replied Barry. "Now I think I know what he means, but I also know what I meant when I said that the supreme commander of NATO should have a little more say-so in the choice of tactical nuclear weapons-and I imagine that those people-although I don't know-in the Pacific have a right to use these weapons if the commander feels...
...houses of state legislatures must be apportioned according to population. In most cases it has been traditional for only one house to be so apportioned, but the Supreme Court held this unconstitutional, since it denied the principle of "one man, one vote."

...returned to journalism as foreign manager of the London Sunday Times but stipulated he be allowed two months' vacation annually for his own writing. After Casino Royale was published to good reviews in 1953, Fleming produced a book a year, delighting his fans with hilariously preposterous plots hardly meant to be taken seriously. Even before the first Bond movie, Dr. No, came out in 1961, the James Bond cult had snowballed into a craze. Fleming's books have been translated into ten languages and had an estimated world sale of 18 million...
...Hershey on Wednesday, however, Goldwater reached new heights. (He realized, surely, that the old routine just wouldn't do: too many voters might have disquieting visions in dark of night of a President Goldwater saying plaintively, as the rubble settled,"Well, what I really meant by that was...") At Hershey the Senator said,"Well, I think it was the Germans that originated this modern concept of peace through strength." The Germans?Peace? The revision of modern history is as complete as the name change of that Viennese paper-hanger, Herr Schickelgruber...
