...Massachusetts' John Kennedy and Missouri's Stuart Symington, the Democratic Party's two hottest presidential hopefuls, joined a group whose policies and pronouncements are generally somewhat to the port side of their own: the ultra-liberal Democratic Advisory Council. The two new members make D.A.C. participation almost unanimous for presidential aspirants. Among the other members: Adlai Stevenson and Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey, California's Governor Edmund ("Pat") Brown and Michigan's Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams. Conspicuously absent: Senator Lyndon Johnson, the Texas entry, who has refused D.A.C. membership and, with other conservative Democrats...

...fade once De Gaulle or Adenauer is gone, and that the Common Market structure of the Inner Six may well pass into history under the pressure of events. But despite these complacent prophecies, the evidence indicates that the alliance of the six continental nations has momentum on its side. Belgium, with the support of France, is now proposing that the Common Market mechanism be broadened to include political consultation. Greece, Turkey and Spain are clamoring to join the Common Market. As a pallid substitute of the Free Trade Area that it once demanded, Britain is forming its own economic league...
