...Jack Kennedy's appearance last month before a group of Protestant ministers in Houston. Kennedy's speech, and the question-and-answer period that followed, were designed to lay the religion issue to rest for the remainder of the campaign. Instead they were being used to keep the Kennedy side of the question alive. Last week, to the surprise of some local Democrats, a half-hour film of the Houston meeting appeared in prime time on eight California TV stations, distributed by Democratic headquarters in Washington. It was shown three times in the State of Washington. It appeared...

...less area than West Virginia and fewer people than Detroit, should take Red China's part against the Russians is something of a mystery. Part of the answer may be its poverty; Albania has only 5,000 cars, trucks and buses, like Red China feels the need of keeping the class war at fever pitch to keep her people from rebelling against austerity.
