...Globals. Hammarskjold's always correct, publicly nonpartisan stand against the "big shoe-thumping fellow" plainly showed his mettle. And yet, his concept of a strong U.N. executive had detractors, even angry foes, in the West as well as the East. Many Britons were bitter at U.N. "interference" during and after the Suez crisis in 1956. France's President de Gaulle, who sniffs his contempt for the "socalled United Nations," had grudging respect for Hammarskjold the man, but still heaped scorn on that whole vast category of what he calls apatrides-nonnationals whose patriotism is global, not local...

But Goldwater had no settled political plans for himself when he ran for Phoenix's city council in 1949 on a nonpartisan reform ticket. Goldwater led his slate into office, helped clean up a deficit, and set up a businesslike city-manager system. Next year, he managed the successful gubernatorial campaign of an old Republican friend, Radio Announcer Howard Pyle; suddenly both the G.O.P. and Barry Goldwater became respectable forces in Arizona politics...
...most influential men in U.S. business, labor and education have devoted great quantities of time and talk to a searching examination of U.S monetary and fiscal policy. This week at the White House the members of the Commission on Money and Credit, a private task force sponsored by the nonpartisan Committee for Economic Development, will present to President Kennedy the results of their labors: a 300-page study called Money and Credit: Their Influence on Jobs, Prices and Growth...
