...time when reflex anti-Communism is being replaced by reflex appeasement, it is heartening to learn of Senator Jackson's improving presidential prospects [Aug. 16]. He is nearly alone among likely Democratic candidates in supporting a strong policy of military aid to pur allies and a strong U.S. military force in the world. However, I believe it is wrong to say that this makes him anathema to the Democratic Party's young. I am a young Democrat (20 years old and just registered yesterday), and I see a substantial base of support for Senator Jackson's ideals...
...interests of promoting the welfare of labor, Meany has stuck to bread-and-butter issues and scoffed at the more grandiose schemes of some of his colleagues. His unabashed materialism and anti-Communism have won him many enemies on the left within the Democratic Party; Meany is so antiCommunist, in fact, that he refuses to smoke Havana cigars. Indeed, it looked for a few months last year as if Meany might lead a contingent of labor into the waiting arms of Richard Nixon.

Nixon can still stave off criticism from the right on the strength of his earlier hard line against Communism. Notes Congressman John Schmitz, a John Bircher who represents Nixon's home district in California: "If you get a reputation for being an early riser, you can sleep till 11." Says Chicago Businessman W. Clement Stone, a large contributor to conservative campaign coffers and Nixon's biggest 1968 financial backer: "After 20 years, we'd better face life as it is. Good common sense dictates that we take a hard look at that situation and put aside...
...about 20 SU-11s the hottest planes in the Russian air force. Even so, President Anwar Sadat told a closed session of his Arab Socialist Union two weeks ago that Egypt would never become Communist, would never recognize an Arab Communist government and would continue to resist Communism throughout the Arab world. A prominent Egyptian added pointedly last week: "If the Soviets want to read political interpretations into Arab arrangements with them, that is their business. We are the satellites...
