...crucial issues of the New Frontier so far -Laos and Cuba - Mauldin has hit as hard as anyone: Khrushchev amiably consumes a fowl (Laos) as Kennedy looks on, a blind Kennedy is flung heels over head by a Seeing-Eye dog (the CIA) hot on the trail of a skunk clearly meant to be Cuba. "Once Kennedy was President," says Mauldin, "I didn't even give him the usual 100 days of grace. I stung him hard. And I'll sting him again." Such deep engagement in battle, says Cartoonist Paul Flora of Hamburg's weekly...
Strategy & Hope. In The Making of the President, Theodore White abandons his unhappy sortie into fiction (The View from the Fortieth Floor) and returns to a field he knows intimately: factual reporting. For more than a year, White, assisted by a legman, roamed the nation on the trail of the seven men who openly aspired to the presidency. For details and events he inevitably missed, he mined the published stories of a thousand reporters. White has used his material well. The campaign of 1960 is recaptured in all its detail and excitement, and White manages to tell his story with...

It was this decision that was overturned last week by the New Orleans court, which cited a 1921 Alabama Supreme Court decision stating that in newspaper libel cases in Alabama, suit can be filed only where the newspaper is published...
...insurrection. Faneuil Hall, in Faneuil Square, is worth visiting both for the startling variety of produce markets which surround it, and for its historical interest as the scene of innumerable rabble-rousing tirades against the British by such stalwarts as old Samuel Adams. If you can follow the Freedom Trail markers, you will be guided also to the Site of the Boston Massacre, King's Chapel, the Home of Paul Revere, and Old North Church...
