...hand to hand under tables, slipped under doors, sent anonymously through the mails, an old and notorious piece of anti-Catholic propaganda turned up last week in scattered cities and towns, mostly in the South. Part of a spreading anti-Catholic campaign against Presidential Candidate John F. Kennedy, the document purports to be the oath of the Knights of Columbus, a 1,000,000-member fraternal order of Roman Catholic men (Kennedy is a member). Sample quote from one version of the fake oath: * "I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, wage relentless war, secretly...

Along with his orders, Red Raborn got a letter, a blunt, forceful document which was a rarity in the annals of the Navy, signed by the CNO himself. "If Rear Admiral Raborn runs into any difficulty with which I can help," wrote Admiral Burke, "I will want to know about it at once, along with his recommended course of action ... If more money is needed, we will get it. If he needs more people, those people will be ordered in. If there is anything that slows this project up beyond the capacity of the Navy and the department, we will...
