Personality & Loyalty. Brash, liberal and articulate, Cavanagh took a more cerebral approach, but he failed to read correctly just what he faced, beginning with the opposition of the state Democratic hierarchy. Though both candidates were prolabor and pro-civil rights, Soapy had been helping Negroes and laborers when Cavanagh was in short pants-and they knew it. Cavanagh's 1% city income tax in Detroit proved unpopular, and many Negroes were alienated when he toyed earlier this year with the idea of a "stop-and-frisk law" that would allow police to search suspicious persons.

...enough: from The Sniper, a 1952 movie about a youth who shoots blondes, to The Open Square, a 1962 novel by Ford Clarke, whose protagonist climbs a tower on a Midwestern campus and begins picking people off. (So far as police know, Whitman had neither seen the movie nor read the book.) Even the fiction, however, pales before the fact.

On the wall behind the teacher were three objects that symbolized the new presence: a Thai flag, a picture of Thailand's King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit and a picture of the Lord Buddha...
Withdrawal would lessen the size and importance of the military establishment in this country, Aiken said. "And the war leaves us with a bad conscience, such as I've not seen in my life." Throughout his speech, most of which he read, he emphasized the importance of peace in strengthening the collective American personality...
