...extension of the sales tax at the 2½% level, thus letting it slip to 2%, Loveless last year won the retailers around the border counties, then placated other groups by looking sad when he had to veto the school program that the sales tax would have supported. In outspoken contrast, Professor (of Agricultural Economics) Murray lectures that the sales tax is the only way to keep property taxes from "going through the ceiling," generally talks like a friendly revenue agent. Unless he can pull off a miracle to top his primary performance, his campaign against Loveless is likely...
Johnny Popham will run a paper that publishes more national and international news than any other in the South. But the Daily Times draws its loudest praises-and heartiest damns-for its outspoken, Southern-liberal editorials on the region's big story: racial integration. Over the years the Daily Times has taken the most forthright stand of any major Southern daily in favor of gradual, peaceful integration under the law of the land.

His remedy: mass dismissal of surplus, lazy and unskilled workmen. In effect, he tacitly confessed that the price of Communist full employment is intolerably low productivity and a uniform level of poverty. A handful of hardcore Stalinists who have never reconciled themselves to Gomulka's lack of reverence...
...tigerishly launches into his act. He runs on and on and on, a Beat-Generation Cotton Mather who gives half the names in the news a beating, cracking his whip up Pennsylvania Avenue one minute, down Madison Avenue the next. Ostentatiously irreverent, he is at times witty, oftener merely outspoken...
