Unless there is a sudden shift of power in the Democratic Party, McCarthy will have little opportunity to move into the executive branch. But he is entirely content with his position in the Senate. He believes that the role of the Legislature is changing: "In the past few years we have been running a box-score operation," he says, "trying to see how many Bills we could pass. But we have come to the end of a golden era--we have accomplished the things that should have been done...
...Leland Moss's rendering of Goat Island, it is that he makes Angelo, and not Agata, the play's center. This leaves the three women on too much of an equal and collectively subordinate level. Moss has had to miscast himself as Angelo, which in large measure explains this shift in emphasis, since he plays the part with too little earthly charisma, and too much surface charm, to be merely an agent of anything. Angelo emerges as a likeable rather than loveable character, and his appeal reaches as much to the audience as to the women on stage with...

Others agree that the Government should "shift the mix" of its economic policies by easing interest rates while imposing a one-year increase in taxes...
...likely that power within the Democratic Party will shift more and more toward the moderates, and its leaders will be more in line with the national Party. Spong's impressive victory could also dampen a potentially explosive split among Virginia's Democrats.

Should he have failed, strident anti-Machine candidates would have been in a much stronger position to demand a crack at statewide offices in 1969. If this polarization ever occurs, it will seriously impair Democratic chances in Virginia for many...
...countries (the Boycott Office has no enforcement powers of its own), the repercussions could be widespread. Coca-Cola, the most popular soft drink among teetotaling Arabs, has 29 bottling plants, 139,000 dealers and a $50 million investment in the Arab world. Egypt immediately prepared to shift nine bottling plants from Coke to something called "Nasr (for victory) Cola." When Iraqui-born Mohammed Mahdi, head of the Manhattan-based American-Arab Action Committee, got word of the boycott in Beirut, he ceremoniously emptied his Coke into a carton...
