...independent rather than a down-the-line Republican. Beame declared himself the underdog and charged that Lindsay was being used "by the rejected Republican Party as a front in its attempted comeback in the city, state and nation."

Though the great majority of undergraduates in the clubs are graduates of New England prep schools and often come from socially prominent families, the clubs claim to take other factors into consideration when recruiting members.

Indians swarmed to enlist, pledged their hoarded gold to the government, and willingly accepted a hike of income taxes by as much as 450% . Since then the course has been downhill. Nehru's illness and death were followed by the accession of tiny, introspective Lai Bahadur Shastri as Prime Minister.
