...customary for election editorials to be dark and passionate appeals to the faithful, clarion blasts on the trumpet of partisanship. During the campaign itself they probably even convince a few people, though their main role is to stir the vitals of the already convinced.

Perhaps, as Dean Landis and Kennedy alike insist, Lodge could not harmonize his Party with an intelligent foreign policy.
