Coattails. Though Barry had been a registered Republican in Democratic Arizona for a long time, his active political participation was little more than that of the average interested citizen. It was mostly as a civic duty that he ran in 1949 on a nonpartisan reform slate for the Phoenix city council. He won, helped set up a successful city-manager system and, among other things, was largely responsible for racial integration of the restaurant at the Phoenix airport. A year later, he managed the victorious gubernatorial campaign of his Republican friend Howard Pyle, and in 1952 he decided...
...little political change there has been since that time, you need look no further than the anti-poverty program which has been proposed by the present Administration. The merits and demerits of that campaign will be debated in the months ahead, but it is an accurate and entirely nonpartisan observation to note that there is very little in it that is new.

"There is a great difference between leaders of my profession and parents." says Rafferty. "My job is to keep this rift from growing larger...
Last week came Democrat John Kennedy's turn-and Passman is nothing if not nonpartisan about his attitudes toward foreign aid. His subcommittee whacked $1.1 billion-or about 24%-from Kennedy's $4.7 billion foreign aid program. Passman pushed the slash through the full Appropriations Committee, then through the House itself. The long-term Development Loan Fund (aimed at easing Allies like Greece and Iran into a realistic self-help economy) was cut by more than one-third, defense assistance by one-seventh, defense hardware by one-eighth, the Alliance for Progress by one-eighth, etc. Passman also...
