Democrats will doubtless try to make an issue out of the Administration's reluctance-stronger in Ike's second term than in his first-to spend federal money for state and local projects such as public housing, urban renewal, programs to aid depressed areas. Sure to pass during the current session of Congress, as exhibits for Democrats to point to from the hustings, are housing and depressed area bills much bigger than the Administration wants. If Ike vetoes them. Democrats can point to the vetoes. The need for state and local public works is undeniable-the big-city...
...occupied by one of Babbitt's last Harvard students, Critic Harry Levin, 47 (James Joyce: A Critical Introduction). It was an honor proposed by another former Babbitt student. Harvard President Nathan M. Pusey. Countless other students, 'from Poet T. S. Eliot to Pundit Walter Lippmann, would doubtless second it. For nearly 40 years such students jammed Babbitt's French literature classes, and by now his own general contempt for them is a matter that aging men may forgive dead giants.

Though it is a good-will tour, he will doubtless be pressed at least indirectly for aid. But he will also find that the primary responsibility for Latin American development, far from being left to the U.S., is courageously shouldered by the new leaders as their own. They see coldly that they must meet the expectations of their people for a better life; they know that television oratory feeds nobody; they believe...
Farm Vote. In the Dairy State, farmers account for only 15% of the vote, and many of them are Republicans. But some Republicans will doubtless cross over to vote for Humphrey, a neighborly sort who for years treated himself as Wisconsin's "third Senator," and argued the farmers' case for high price supports louder than their own two Senators. Straw polls show farmers favoring Humphrey 46% to Kennedy's 29%, with 25% undecided...
