...duty, a duty to all the people, I cannot be absent when there is public business at stake. Those who have engaged in active campaigns since January"?he unmistakably meant Jack Kennedy in particular?"have missed hundreds of votes. This I could not do ... Some one has to tend the store." Offstage, Johnson put it more bluntly: "Jack was out kissing babies while I was passing bills." His voice had an edge of bitterness in it, betraying his sense of grievance, his not-so-secret dislike for "young Jack," and his awareness that the dislike is mutual. (Kennedy...
...morning of June 24, two of the plotters parked a green 1954 Oldsmobile on the road Betancourt would take to at tend the Venezuelan Armed Forces Day ceremony. They placed two green suitcases, loaded with 60 lbs. of ammonium-nitrate dynamite and a radio receiver, in the trunk, hooked up the detonating receiver.

After the bitterness of the West Virginia primary, in which Kennedy knocked Humphrey out of the presidential race, it seemed unlikely that they could ever join up as running mates, but they were soon paying each other peacemaking compliments. Last week the betting on Humphrey took a sharp upturn when, at Kennedy's urging, Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. publicly...
This sociological-psychological fact, thinks Teacher Goldstein, a nondenominational Protestant, has profound theological results. Insecure and anxious like most men, theologians (there has never been a woman theologian of note) tend to equate the restless self-concern that results from this state with sin, and to extol the opposite (feminine) qualities of quiet, self-surrendering passivity. Such theologians as Paul Tillich, Reinhold Niebuhr, Sweden's Anders Nygren and Israel's Martin Buber see man as estranged from himself and from God and filled with anxiety because of his estrangement; that anxiety, in their view, results in sins...
