...platitudes in a deep and resonant voice. Those trademarks of Thomas Edmund Dewey came to symbolize a full decade of Republican Party frustration in the presidential politics of the 1940s. That is unfortunate, since Dewey was the prototype of all crusading young gangbusters in his 30s, a crisply efficient three-term Governor of New York in his 40s, and a premature but valued elder statesman of his party as early as his 50s.

MISSOURI: Stuart Symington, the three-term Senator from the "Show Me State," has changed in six years. In the 1964 campaign he was a leading advocate of a strong military and a vigorous effort to win in Vietnam. Since then, however, he has become a leading critic of the war and of big defense budgets (opposing the ABM, for example...
