...line between interpretation and advocacy is a fine one. And there are critics who contend that this year the press has not always walked that line with sure-footed skill. Part of the reason, of course, was Barry Goldwater, whose conservative Republicanism could hardly have been expected to stir enthusiasm among predominantly liberal reporters. It is difficult to be neutral about Goldwater, and early off, the press was not neutral...
...default, Slattery's People is the best, even if it is a kind of provincial Advise and Consent, taking its milieu-as so many TV shows vulturistically do-from an earlier showbiz success. Slattery, played by Richard Crenna, is a state legislator. The story last week did stir up an at least plausible atmosphere of cameral politics.

...American public-school children bustled into classrooms for the 1964-65 term. Having obstreperously demanded more integration and better schools in boycotts and demonstrations over the past year, responsible Negroes are now mostly satisfied with quiet but significant improvements all over the country-and they do not want to stir up more white resentment before the election. Among Negroes, the word is to "cool it"; the protests over integration are coming from whites...
