...dark victory indeed. Essentially it was a fight of Democrats with Democrats, and it marked a decisive swing of power from the entrenched Southern Democratic conservatives to the urban liberal forces that have grown increasingly frustrated over Southern seniority. But the close vote reddened the sore of the split and emphasized the powerful resources of the conservatives even under intense pressure. The cold realists in John Kennedy's White House knew that the fight would have to be refought on every major bill, that their forces might never be as strong again-and they no longer had the Rules...
Like many a well-dressed political boss, New York's Carmine De Sapio wears a velvet glove over his hard fist: his public utterances are usually soothing; he rarely shows irritation or displeasure. But last week De Sapio, sore beset by the so-called reform insurgents, who seek to unseat him as New York Democratic national committeeman and leader of Tammany Hall, struck out at his tormentors.

Greeted by a flurry of inattention from the critics, this western has been hastily remaindered into the neighborhood circuits in the hope that it will soon get profitably lost in the Christmas rush. The loss will be bearable: Seven is not a great picture-not nearly as good as the Japanese Magnificent Seven (TIME, Dec. 10, 1956), the brilliant episode...
