...expect to take over the Democratic Party after Humphrey loses. That hope is likely to be foiled by party professionals who, unlike the McCarthy amateurs, work at politics full time; much the same happened on the Republican side, when the pros shut out the Rockefeller forces who refused to support Goldwater in 1964. Equally unrealistic is the dissident-Democrat hope that a President Nixon could easily be defeated for reelection...
...taking any support from Javits can be a difficult chore, as O'Dwyer is learning. O'Dwyer is a veteran defender of civil rights cases, which he often took for little or no fee; he hopes to cut deeply into his opponent's strength among Negroes. His involvement in gunrunning to embattled Israeli freedom fighters in 1948 also gives him the hope of cracking Javits' near monopoly on; New York's more than 1.7 million Jewish votes. But O'Dwyer remains an all but certain loser to one of the best vote getters...

But even then, though much more unified and with far more public support than today, Zengakuren could not prevent the signing of the U.S.-Japanese Security Pact. The pact, replacing the earlier Security Treaty of 1951, was signed in 1960. It actually gives Japan a greater voice than before in any U.S. military activities on Japanese territory, and pledges both countries to take unspecified action if either one is attacked in territories under Japanese administration...
