...causes of this decline are several. Once again the factor of Kennedy's religion will sway many Catholic voters in these counties. Hinden estimated the Catholic voting population in the two counties at 35 per cent. Another is the movement of factories and businesses to the suburbs, causing an influx of blue and white collar voters, who tend to vote Democratic...
Laos is exactly the kind of case where the U.S. can view neutrality only with alarm. It is on the frontier of the free world. It has a big Communist movement, which can be and is supplied from neighboring Communist states, Red China and North Viet Nam. Its own government has little real popular backing (no government has in backward Laos, where there are few roads or telephones and no national newspaper).

Morro Flight. The dozen underground civic resistance groups of a few months ago are only now beginning to shake down into two major movements: the Democratic Revolutionary Front, headed by oldtime Autentico Politico Manuel ("Tony") Varona, and the younger, more aggressive People's Revolutionary Movement (MRP) of Manolo Ray, 34, Castro's former Public Works Minister.

Their marvellous tone, perfect, balance and phrasing, and rhythmic...
...most of those who had remained indifferent. From this time on, quite abruptly, the anti-government program widened its base to embrace, besides opposition to the treaty, the questions of the "preservation of democracy," the "normalization of parliamentary politics," and, as a concomitant to the anti-Kishi slogans, the movement against Eisenhower's visit. In this sense, a purely partisan, leftist movement was converted into a city-centered mass movement against the allegedly anti-parliamentarian attitude of the Kishi cabinet. The main argument was that the government had refused to deliberate further on the treaty, but had resorted...
