...centered on Wehner. Last March, outside the hall in Nürnberg where the Socialists were holding their convention, a mob of young party dissidents attacked Wehner, loosening a tooth and knocking off his glasses. Since then, hecklers have hounded him at nearly every speech with cries of "Labor traitor" and "Fascist." Erupting in fierce outbursts, Wehner has replied in kind, calling his detractors "Communists," and warning that their leftist attacks against the party's moderate policies would only encourage the growth of the new rightist extremists. "As you bellow into the German forest," he declared repeatedly, "so will...
...quotes anonymous Washington sources to the effect that Alsop has become obsessed with Viet Nam. When Bobby Kennedy made a speech saying that the U.S. couldn't win in Viet Nam, Alsop, writes Miller, called the Senator's office three times to denounce him as a "traitor" to his country. To win in Viet Nam, Alsop is even willing to use what he calls "Mr. Big"-the atom bomb-Miller says.

He is a militant old liberal, to be sure, but he strikes many Southern Democrats as the most responsible of the three contenders for the nomination. Some who have come to regard Johnson as a traitor to his region can respect Humphrey for his consistent position. In Louisiana, Governor John McKeithen-a possible running mate-promised: "This delegation will be enthusiastically for Humphrey, and I will play a prominent role...
There seems to be little doubt that Willy Brandt will be his party's stan dard-bearer in the national elections, in which he will probably face Christian Democratic Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger. Though he was roughed up by rebellious students and met with cries of "Labor traitor!" when he arrived outside the auditorium in Nurnberg, his party gave him only pleasant treatment inside. By a 325-to-8 vote, the delegates re-elected him party leader and cheered his new policies. Those policies are certain to cause severe strains within the coalition Cabinet, especially since Chancellor Kiesinger...
