...majorities. As Germans see it, it is an attempt to bring renewal to German national life and to reconcile many of the old antagonisms, both political and religious, that have segmented it. Its cast confirms the effort. Kurt Kiesinger, a Christian Democrat, is a onetime member of the Nazi Party???a fact on which the world's press has concentrated almost singlemindedly. West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt, 52, the Social Democrat who came into the government as Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister, was a wartime refugee from the Nazis and a member of the underground. Herbert Wehner, 60, the powerful...
...Some say that Goldwater should be given the nomination if only to prove to the party???once and for all?that super-conservatives can't win. But what a risk!

Wings are a characteristic of the Democratic party???the urban Irish-Catholic wing of Tammany Hall and New England; the conservative Protestant wing of the South; the rural radical wing of the Northwest; the free, harum-scarum wing of the Southwest. Governor Roosevelt, nominated by a heterogeneous combination of the last three, crushed the first wing, left it bleeding and broken. The Brown Derby is still licking its wounds in sullen silence. John Jacob Raskob, who kept the party alive through four lean years, has been unceremoniously exiled. Regardless of Mayor Walker's fate, Tammany can expect nothing...
