...every North Ireland constituency in the British general election, polled 150,000 votes out of 650,000 cast. Two of its candidates, both prisoners of the Omagh raid and now in British jails, were elected, and the House of Commons (which does not admit felons) was later forced to unseat them. The jailed Sinn Feiner, who recontested his seat, was returned with a tripled majority. Irish societies everywhere are once again raising funds for the I.R.A., e.g., the United Irish Counties Association in New York last week unanimously voted $25,000 for the defense of the three men arrested...
...consigned Diem to the dustbin and attempted to persuade the United States to do likewise. Even Chief of State Bao Dai, France's obedient servant, took time out from his duties on the Riviera to help preside over Diem's downfall. After the embarrassing failure of the attempt to unseat the Premier, the French government has assured the United States that it intends to support Diem, for the moment at least.

Oregon has long been a Republican state, but it is less conservative than conservationist. For almost a year, Democrat Richard L. Neuberger, a state senator, free-lance writer and amateur conservationist, has been barnstorming around Oregon in a bid to unseat Republican Senator Guy Cordon. Hitting at what he called the "giveaway" of natural resources, Neuberger seemed to be campaigning less against Cordon than against Interior Secretary Douglas McKay, whose "partnership" power policy has been received with mounting hostility in McKay's native state. To balding Dick Neuberger, this issue, especially the fight over the nearby Idaho Hell...
