...Philadelphia riot [Sept. 4] was not a "race riot" but simply an infinitesimal part of our Negro community-the rowdy, lawless, hoodlum element-taking advantage of an excuse. There was no issue of black v. white. The Negro community rallied to the support of the mayor and the law-enforcement agencies. Residents opened their homes to police; women prepared free doughnuts and coffee for the weary officers on riot duty; area residents sent telegrams of support to the mayor and an offer to help in cleaning up; a clearinghouse was set up in an area church for people to return...
...Welfare v. Crime. Once in a while he indulged in campaign high jinks, such as in Oregon, Ill., where he waggled a pair of corncobs behind Wife Peggy's ears. But mostly, Barry was all business, and wherever his chartered Boeing 727 jet, the Yia Bi Kin (Navajo for House in the Sky), touched down, Goldwater ripped into the Democrats.

On neither moral nor pragmatic grounds could Home agree. He still insisted that the black majority (3,700,000 v. 224,000 whites) be granted a louder voice before Britain would cut its final tie with the colony...
...English v. French. Pearson may eventually get some sort of maple-leaf emblem to cover his country. But it will take much more than a new flag to bring Canadians together. After 17 months in office, Pearson is beset on all sides-not only by Diefenbaker's Conservatives but also by angry squabbles over federal v. provincial powers, and most particularly by a deeply divided, mutually antagonistic population...
