...build his winner. He traded boldly and shrewdly; from Cleveland alone, he got four of this year's Packer stars: Halfback Lew Carpenter, Tackle Henry Jordan, Defensive Ends Bill Quinlan and Willie Davis-two of the fiercest pass rushers in pro ball. Safetyman Willie Wood, an agile opportunist who leads the N.F.L. with nine pass interceptions this year, was signed as a free agent-nobody else wanted him-and All-League Guard Fred Thurston was a three-time loser (Chicago. Philadelphia. Baltimore) when Lombardi rescued him from obscurity in a trade with the Colts. About 50% of today...
...facts of Nixon's failure point to what I thought an obvious conclusion: he simply wasn't good enough for high American politics. One could stop short of this judgment and damn him as an opportunist, I noted; or one could deny the judgment, as Mr. Von Salzen does, and speak vaguely of Nixon's having done "a few things right," and being "deserving of appreciation."

His main public activity was to dream up new, adulatory names for Nkrumah; but for weeks, rumors of his plans to overthrow the Redeemer had swirled through Accra...
...quite another Mr. K. Following the rules by which these games are played, it was possible to learn what the Chinese meant by substituting Khrushchev's name wherever Kautsky's was mentioned. "Kautsky robs Marxism of its revolutionary, living spirit," charged the Chinese. "He is a hidden opportunist. He does not preach revolution, does not carry on the wholehearted revolutionary struggle, and in order to avoid such a struggle resorts to the tritest, ultra-Marxist-sounding excuses." On a less rarefied plane, the widening split between China and Russia is also much in evidence. Diplomatically, Russia is actively...
