...change lies in that ambition. He has deliberately set out to make himself a responsible party leader. He has taken a strong position on civil rights for Negroes: he has been careful to treat Africans and Asians as if they were treasured voters. He has been pro-Israeli rather than pro-Arab, for more foreign aid rather than less.
