...Larger Patriotism," Saltonstall emphasized that patriotism should include not only love of one's own country but love of all humanity as well.

In the greatest landslide since 1936, the democrats gained 15 seats in the Senate and 47 in the House, giving them nearly a two thirds majority in each house, and it was confidently predicted that this preshadowed a new era of immoderate liberalism in Congress.

Foreign makers expect to benefit from Detroit's new emphasis on smallness; they hope to increase...
