...York, Pa. and Harrisburg, Huntingdon and Pittsburgh; in Marietta, Ohio and Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Toledo; in Jackson, Mich., and Battle Creek; in Danville, Ill., Mattoon and Carbondale-in the more than 40 hamlets and cities in the path of his one-week siege, Nixon struck out at Kennedy with ever sharper accusations of naivete and fear-spreading ("It's time to hot things up a bit, don't you think?" he asked one audience). Nearly everywhere churning, cheering crowds smashed to the depots to roar their encouragement as he countered the Kennedy campaign theme ("All of this...
...artistic impulse toward writing" combined with the architect's search for "some underlying unity of design" led Edgar Johnson into the field of literary biography.

("That." said he. "is the big issue.") But Nixon topped him with a sureness on cold war specifics. Most notable: Kennedy plumped for U.S. withdrawal from the offshore Nationalist Chinese islands of Quemoy and Matsu to facilitate an orderly...
Perhaps this path would betray France, for perhaps France pride would be so hurt that the compromise would be unacceptable. But it seems possible that the UN could be accepted, under pressure, as a gesture to convince others of the good faith which de Gaulle has already personally guaranteed. It need never be suggested that France would not bargain in good faith: rather, acceptance of the UN could become a supreme French gesture of willingness to do anything to convince the Algerians of honest intentions...
