...will hang together-and how many votes they can muster on their own-is open to serious doubt. As of last week, they had succeeded in at least one major objective: forcing the resignation of Lleras Restrepo as the Front's presidential candidate in 1966. "I am the victim of an intense and obstinate propaganda campaign to destroy the country's institutions," said Lleras Restrepo. And sure enough, its institutions were growing shakier by the day. Toward week's end, university students protesting U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic went on a seven-hour rampage in Bogot...
...greatest danger lies not in outright propaganda but in the power of illusion. A large part of world opinion still insists that John Kennedy was the victim of an extremist plot.

If Clay had thought the knockdown were legitimate, he wouldn't have jeopardized his chances for a first-round victory by carrying on a little social chat with his prostrate victim before going to a corner...
...gentleman of the beginning to the frenzied, lewd murderer of the climax. His fluent dialogue was matched by a physical command of the role, as much in his comic pantomimes before an invisible blackboard as in his sinister posture just before the murder, when he crouches next to his victim like something inhuman...
