McCarthy's first reaction to the news of the invasion was to score the President for convening the National Security Council that same evening. In fact Johnson basically agrees with McCarthy's point of view. The President's reaction to the invasion was startlingly mild--a formal protest--and it was not until after there was serious talk of a Russian invasion of Rumania that the President warned the Soviets the United States would regard such action as an alarming change in the existing balance of power. Although he later cancelled a number of cultural exchanges between the two countries...
...protect the individual against the Government's police powers. One of the more revealing Gallup polls of recent months asked whether citizens wanted new appointees to the Supreme Court to be conservative or liberal. The response was pro-conservative, 51% to 30%. The economic group strongest for this view was the $3,000-$5,000 bracket-the very segment that would seemingly benefit most from a liberal court's decisions on criminal procedures...
Most American historians oversimplify the origins of the College when they write that the constitutional draftsmen of 1787 did not trust the people to choose a President directly. In part, the Electoral College plan did emerge as a compromise between the patrician view of government and the belief, shared by James Madison and Gouverneur Morris, that Americans should elect their President directly.

Jewish adults view these statistics with mixed emotions. Since joining the drug scene or the S.D.S. usually goes hand in hand with a formal rejection of inherited belief, many Jewish parents are now worried about the religious consequences of radicalism.

A B'nai B'rith survey showed that anti-Semitism is no longer the prime worry...
...Exit. The many facets of Lucas Samaras will be mirrored in an exhibit of 125 drawings and constructions that goes on view next month at Manhattan's Pace Gallery. Included will be drawings that date back to the early 1960s, when he and other young artists were rebelling against the prevailing mode of abstract expression. Samaras' way of celebrating the long-ignored object was to summon up his disturbing Macedonian memories. Matchbook and spectacles, in a 1962 ink drawing, were depicted with the stark frontality of a Byzantine icon. Samaras also created silvery, pin-encrusted books and boxes...
