...HOUSE because of Carter's fumbling. It worked that way for John Kennedy in 1963, when after the Cuban missile crisis he successfully completed the nuclear test-ban treaty with the Soviet Union.

...composed of students and working-class blacks. The police looked forward to this confrontation with this hard-to-define group. They didn't like this organization called MOVE--a name no one has really been able to decipher.
