...year campaign of 1950 was utterly unlike 1946, when "Had Enough?" meant the same thing to everybody. In Colorado in 1950, the issue was a classic conflict between free-spending Fair Deal liberality and traditional, economy-minded Republican conservatism, with an able advocate on each side to make the case. Rarely were issues that clear-cut elsewhere. In New York, the No. 1 issue was an indiscreet letter written by an ailing old man (TIME, Oct. 23). In Ohio, the-question was whether Robert Taft should be replaced by an amiable mediocrity mouthing speeches written for him. In Wisconsin...
...reporters laughed, and Gabrielson, after thinking over his words, joined in. For Democrat McCarran, during his 18 years in the Senate, had been about as fond of New and Fair Deal medicines as Carrie Nation was of bourbon. Before the 1938 primaries, when F.D.R. himself went inland to have his say on candidates, he visited Nevada, but haughtily ignored McCarran's candidacy for renomination; McCarran had angrily fought too many New Deal measures.

I didn't want the Castles to be seen in a ridiculous light, to be laughed at by people today who never...
...teach!" But before long, the skeptics grew silent. Educators began to realize that the board was doing more than providing a standard set of examinations to be given on the same day, at the same clock hour, all over the U.S. It was providing the colleges with the first fair and sure method they had ever had for selecting their future students. It also put the whole field of secondary education on its mettle by providing a set of standards for all schools to follow...
...governmental sources that the project is of vital importance" to the U.S. The reasons for Du Pont's reluctance were plain. It did not want to risk having the "merchant of death" tag pinned on it again. Nor did it have any desire to hand more ammunition to Fair Deal trustbusters who have filed three suits attempting to break up the Du Pont organization. Last week the New York Times's Pundit Arthur Krock scored the paradoxical Government policy of trying to make Du Pont bigger and smaller at the same time. Wrote he: "When the Government needs...
