...lesson on the virtues of civilian control over the military. Military blunders, miscalculations and misjudgments have been more frequent than history and texts record. Lucky for us that President John F. Kennedy was conscious of military fallibility when he so brilliantly resolved the Cuban crisis in 1962. With due respect to our dedicated and loyal military leaders, let us hope that our President will never subordinate his judgment to theirs, particularly in this age of the bomb...
Despite his defeat, Edmund Muskie emerged as one of the most personable and articulate major finds of national politics since John F. Kennedy. His relaxed campaigning manner, understated Yankee humor and forthrightness in dealing with the issues won the respect of many voters who had barely heard of him only a month or two ago. In many districts, Humphrey probably slid in on Muskie's coattails; Muskie obviously could provide much of the leadership of the Democratic Party during the next four years. He faces a reelection race for the Senate in 1970, but in 1972 will surely...
...effect, however, was not the stimulation of fuller debate. The hecklers' chief accomplishment was generally to disrupt meetings and render the candidates momentarily speechless. Wallace alone found a use for the barrackers. He pointed to long-haired protesters as "anarchists," as exemplars of the breakdown of order and respect.

For them, as for most victims, the illness was uncomfortable and not disabling. But Toxoplasma is like rubella in one respect: it wreaks its worst havoc on the unborn child, causing encephalitis, hydrocephalus, heart damage and hepatitis. Says Kean: "If this epidemic had occurred in five pregnant women, the potential danger to their unborn children-either fetal death or severe brain damage-would have been enormous...
Mosby's Memoirs and Other Stories is not major Bellow. In one respect it is a package designed to keep the author's name before the public. Three of the six stories in the collection, Looking for Mr. Green, The Gonzaga Manuscripts and A Father-to-Be, first appeared between hard covers in the 1956 edition of Seize the Day. This fact Bellow's publisher has conspicuously avoided mentioning. But once the reader gets into the stories, annoyance gives way to grudging gratitude, for these are fine examples of the craft of short fiction...
