...well raise another and more legitimate objection: the claim that renewing diplomatic relations with Cuba is politically impossible in this country; Americans simply will not accept it. Yet it ought to be pointed out that the people have never heard a reasonable and unemotional presentation of the problem. It is too easy to insist that everybody wants a Cuban invasion after everybody has listened to endless denunciations of Cuban Communism and Soviet aggression...
...escape the dire presence of M. Did they meet, or didn't they? Even Resnais and Robbe-Grillet don't agree on that, nor is there any reason why they should. Ambiguity, after all, only presents difficulty to the person who wants to resolve it. Quite clearly, one ought to accept L'Annee Derniere on its own terms, which are patently ambiguous. We have become too used to the "fruitful" ambiguity which fits neatly into some half-submerged, rational scheme.

...most Mississippians are concerned, any Negro who tries to get himself educated in a white school ought to have his head examined-and sometimes does.

"Truman was still Ike's boss...
...Styles's Senate term under appointment by Governor Wesley Powell. "Mo" Murphy, 34,' an amiable fellow, is also considered a "Bridges Republican," but he stands to the southpaw side of Doloris (he favors financial aid to the U.N., she is against it). He argues that the voters ought to keep him in Washington because he is so young and he already has a few months' Senate seniority. Merrow, after 20 years in the House, has a well-oiled local organization, is accused by his opponents of voting more like a Democrat than a Republican...
