That fifties Catholic liberalism was mistaken is obvious. But there were those who saw its flaws then-Left critics like C. Wright Mills, and to a lesser extent, Adiai Stevenson and Gene MaCarthy (who noted that he was both more Catholic and more liberal than Kennedy),-though such people were hard to find. Similarly, the Right also saw how mistaken the liberals were, although often for the wrong reasons.

...TIME first asked the pro-football scouts to pick the top college players at each position, the experts agreed that Billy Cannon, L.S.U.'s much-publicized All-America halfback was just about the best ball carrier around.

Handicapped with a lesser variety among their bit parts, the men were adequate; Perry Emerson, who had the most opportunity for diversity, welched on his challenge by playing all his parts alike...
...unmoved by the youngsters who rallied to McGovern's cause: "The blue-collar Hell's Angels are hoodlums; the upper-class Weatherman et al. are idealistic 'kids,' who are never idealistic enough to demonstrate on campus for mine safety after the live burials of their lesser peers in cave...
