Shortly before Chile's presidential elections last week, Salvador Allende, the Marxist candidate, received a "good luck" telegram from Joāo Goulart, the recently deposed far-leftist President of Brazil.

No sooner had Goldwater announced that he would naysay the civil rights measure than Scranton shot off a telegram. "I urge you," he wired, "to repudiate your opposition to the civil rights bill by voting yes on final passage. Your views on the subject to date are opposed to the traditional Republican philosophy of equal opportunity for all, and it is of great importance to our party that...
