...three days the battle lines shifted. Desertions were commonplace and simple to effect; a soldier of uncertain mind had only to change the red arm band of the Kong Le faction for the white band of General Phoumi. Anxious to please, shopkeepers waved red or white flags as the tide of battle wavered...
Respect for Views. Canada would indeed like to increase trade-and not simply because the prospect of a slice of the former $545 million-a-year U.S.-Cuba trade looked irresistible. A tide of nationalism and of disenchantment with U.S. leadership is running in Canada. Hardly a day goes by without calls for Canada to assert its own leadership and go its own self-interested way. Last week Prime Minister Diefenbaker rose in the House of Commons to explain Ottawa's official position. Said he: "We respect the views of other nations in their relations with Cuba just...
...Rising Tide. The long-term worry is the fact that after each of the last two recessions the unemployment rate has never returned to its former lower levels. From a low unemployment rate of 2.6% during the Korean war, unemployment stuck at 4% after the 1954 recession, as the labor force rose by almost 1,000,000 more than employment between mid-1953 and mid-1955. During the 1957-58 recession, the labor force rose 700,000 more than employment, and unemployment never again fell to the 4% prerecession level...

"There is a feeling that the best effort was not put out here," said a top New York Republican who is no friend of Rockefeller's. "Nelson will have one helluva time getting re-elected Governor in 1962." The Rockefeller rebuttal: he had given 400 enthusiastic speeches for Nixon...
...Roosevelt's day, ethnic, racial and religious minorities once again voted heavily Democratic. It was also in the cities that Kennedy's personality caught on most decisively. There were strong indications that Eisenhower, had he started campaigning three weeks before Election Day, might have stemmed the tide: his Cleveland appearance was almost certainly a major factor in saving Ohio for Nixon...
