Your article on Senator Kefauver characterizes him as a rather sinister, continually scheming individual, which is unfair. I suppose fair-haired Richard Nixon is in on the race for his health (more likely, another's health...
...Given the advantage of the worst Republican Vice President in years," blathers Frank Jeter Jr. in your Sept. 10 Letters column. As a college senior with a profound interest in political science, I want to know just precisely what Jeter Jr. believes is so completely nix about Nixon?

...speech, Fuchs branded Richard Nixon as a "character assassin and a no-good demagogue." Fuchs went on to emphasize the great gains in the public opinion polls and in the elections of the last four years that Stevenson and the Democrats have made. "However," Fuchs added, "if I were a bookie, I'd have to lay 8-5 on Ike. Stevenson has just too much ground to make...
