...England's Democratic winners were strong supporters of President Kennedy, and there could be no doubt that his personal popularity in his native region contributed to his party's sweep. But the real lesson lay in the fact that New England was ready for some fresh young political faces-and Democrats offered more of them than Republicans. That lesson was underlined in the case of one Republican who showed great strength, if in a losing cause. In normally Democratic Rhode Island, State Representative John H. Chafee, 40, a Marine captain who fought both in World...
...Democratic traditions. The G.O.P. showed stirrings of life in the South in 1952 and 1954. Then it stalled, gaining not a single additional congressional seat in the old Confederacy in 1956, 1958 or 1960. This year the G.O.P. got moving again. And the South was suddenly a two-party region...

In this region of howling blizzards, avalanches and thin air, even Jeeps have to be fitted with superchargers, and tanks and trucks are useless because of terrible roads...
...Names. Last week Heuser and 13 fellow Nazis were on trial in Koblenz for the slaying of 70,000 gypsies, Jews and Russian peasants; Heuser alone is charged with the murder, by shooting, gassing, burning or live burial, of 30,356 people in the Minsk region between 1941 and 1944. On the witness stand, Heuser's voice was shaky as he recalled one of the massacres. "It was like automation. Somebody shouted: 'There's one still alive!' I shot. And then I continued to shoot...
