...American Friends of the Middle East, Inc. agreed to pay half the cost of a round trip tourist flight ticket from Teheran to New York so that an outstanding Iranian economist, Mr. Khoddad Farmanfarmaian, could attend 20th Century Week. They have paid the cost of transportation of a Persian, not an Arab. This is their sole contribution to the Program. They had no influence whatsoever on the selection of invited guests. Moreover, there is no "panel on the Near East" during 20th Century Week. Professor Jones, therefore, has no factual basis for drawing the conclusion that he did. Roger...
Congenial Ticket? If the Republicans could dream, so could certain disgruntled Democrats who hope the South will rise again. In Montgomery, Ala., Lawyer R. Lea Harris ("just an interested citizen") called for a conference of Southern electors with Jack Kennedy to force Kennedy to agree to certain "requests" (e.g., restoration of states' rights).

Between widespread (and carefully calculated) ticket splitting and outright reversals of voting form, the 1960 election hit many a state political machine like an earthquake, shattering cherished preconceptions and not a few careers...
...martyr's role like an old pro. Dallas County stayed as Republican as ever-Nixon got 149,333 votes, 23,972 more than Ike's 1956 mark-but in the central and east Texas rural areas and in some of the smaller Texas cities, the Democratic ticket picked up steadily, and Bruce Alger's blunder made a big difference. One top Nixon adviser insists that it even helped lose South Carolina, where voters resented the unchivalrous attitude toward Lady Bird...
