...G.O.P. is not worrying any more. With only three weeks left in the presidential campaign, the clear choice of the editorial pages is Richard Nixon. Not that the switch has been entirely wholehearted; the Cleveland Plain Dealer, for one, admitted that the decision was hardly "easy." But, said the paper, it had become disenchanted with Humphrey as a "man of the old order. He is campaigning on the past. Richard Nixon is the only candidate in a position to take a new course...
...example, revealed the secret texts of the Papal Commission on Birth Control and exhaustively reported repressions of outspoken priests. Last week Bishop Charles H. Helmsing of Kansas City-St. Joseph, issued a formal condemnation of the NCR. In a solemn four-page public statement, Helmsing denounced the paper for "its disregard and denial of the most sacred values of our Catholic faith...

Already, one major feature of the Nixon platform--the decentralizing "black power" approach to the ghettoes--traces back to a paper prepared by a Ripon member at the Institute of Politics at Harvard. But it is difficult to assess the real meaning of his plan as Nixon expounds it--or the importance the candidate genuinely attaches to it in a year when every presidential aspirant is required to produce some kind of "solution...
