Salazar has run his country for the past 24 years. Though "every citizen of this country has the opportunity to nominate himself or decide who deserves to represent him," Nasser said, there would be just one "National Union" ticket and Nasser would decide who went on it. Anybody who had been convicted by his Revolution Tribunal and courts as a "public enemy," and anybody who had been subject to such acts of "administrative custody" as being watched by the police could be, and last week was, "deprived of the exercise of his political rights" and could not stand for office...
Over a Barrel. If Kenny was strong in the statehouse, he was fading back home in Jersey City. Aware of this, Murray joined a city commission ticket made up of other unhappy anti-Kenny men, fought a hard seven-week rough-and-ready municipal campaign. Their anti-boss pitch was effective. In last week's election the Murray men buried four members of Kenny's five-man slate (Kenny himself was not running) in an outpouring of votes...
Campaign's Heart. New Yorkers who came to the Garden for the beginning of the crusade last week-many in buses chartered by their own church organizations-had several surprises. First was the strange sensation of walking into the Garden without a ticket and, even stranger, being directed to a seat by a polite, quiet-voiced usher who seemed to know the difference between a shepherd and a sheepherder.

Analyzing his own apathy, Amis makes the pertinent reflection that intellectuals are political romantics who can be stirred by extreme situations: "Romanticism in a political context I would define as an irrational capacity...
...Machiavelli Street is a cardinal who cooperates with a Communist leader in a Communist country, a primate who stumped his nation last winter for votes for a straight Communist ticket, a prince of the church who threw away the Vatican rule book in his dealings with the state. He is also the embodiment of the fervent faith of more than 27 million Poles. Wielding that faith as a moral weapon, Wyszynski has forced from Wladyslaw Gomulka's government a degree of religious freedom and recognition for his church undreamed of anywhere else in the Communist world. Today the cardinal...
