Last week Republicanism won. In a heavy turnout for an odd-year election, the voters of the Fourth District gave the Republican candidate, John Kyi, 40, their approval by a solid 2,532 plurality over his Democratic rival, C. (for Charles) Edwin Gilmour, 41. The election fascinated politicos for two reasons: 1) the Fourth District, with a large population of corn-hog farmers and smaller but important groups of factory workers and merchants, is a good litmus for testing the trends of the Farm Belt; 2) only a year ago the district sent the first Democrat in its history...
...message of "peace and friendship in freedom," noted that in the U.S. more than 10 million Italian-descended citizens claim heritage "from the Italian civilization." Then he got into Gronchi's official Fiat, drove the long way into Rome along the Old Appian Way-the historic route. Crowd turnout in the heavy rain: thin. The motorcade rolled through the Gate of San Sebastiano, past the Baths of Caracalla and the Colosseum, into the Piazza Venezia, where Mussolini used to strut and harangue.

British workers, explains Strong, see the church as "a financial racket. Churches are empty now, but the Church still has income from investments. If empty churches meant hard times for vicars, then they would soon do something about...
...spite of the enforced turnout of Hanoi's 450,000 residents to sing and parade under the gaily colored streamers and lights hastily erected for the welcoming, it was a pretty dreary place that Sukarno had come to at the end of a two-month world tour. Once a well-ordered colonial city under French rule, Hanoi became a jittery, bordello-ridden citadel during the Indo-China war, but after five years of Communist rule has turned into a place where, says one frequent foreign visitor, "the only noise is the absence of noise. Nobody smiles. Not even...
