...comparison, of course, is absurd. Bill Scranton has not achieved the national stature of a Dwight Eisenhower, and Barry Goldwater is far, far from being a Bob Taft. Moreover, the storied kingmakers who launched Ike into politics-and thereby won undying enmity from the G.O.P.'s conservative wing-did not catapult Scranton, or anyone else, into the race, and as yet have attempted nothing of consequence in the 1964 campaign...
Such inequalities are more than mere statistical curiosities. In Hawaii, the left-wing International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's 'Union has been able to elect, and then to influence, legislators outside the heavily populated island of Oahu. The union therefore can ram almost any labor legislation through the legislature at the expense of Honolulu's underrepresented businessmen. Dominant farm legislators in Delaware have maintained a law that requires a farmers' market to be situated on a main street of Wilmington. Florida's Dade County (Miami) supplies 25% of the state's gasoline...

The neutralist government of Prince Souvanna Phouma, shaken severely by a right-wing coup last April, had been jolted further by a series of sharp Pathet Lao attacks that forced Kong Le off the Plain.

When one of the slow-flying Navy recon planes was downed by Russian-made antiaircraft guns, the U.S. decided to send armed jet fighters to escort the reconnaissance craft. When...
...darker rightist conspiracy, and then was silenced by Jack Ruby. This impression was fed by the bad assumptions made by many reporters and commentators in the first minutes after the assassination in conservative Dallas, and it has never been fully erased. "The American press," declared Italy's left-wing magazine Vie Nuove in a recent issue, "has forgotten its glorious tradition of truth and democracy, playing along with the FBI and Dallas police to incriminate Oswald . . . who has no chance to defend himself." In Britain, that sometime philosopher, Bertrand Russell, has already set up a "Who Killed Kennedy?" committee...
During his three-year career, the hard-shooting wing accumulated 61 goals and 49 assists, participating in 59 victories and only 15 defeats. In the final game of 1963, Kinasewich scored three times, including the winning goal in a sudden death overtime, to defeat Boston College, 4-3, for the ECAC championship...
