McCarthy, no less than Kennedy, has been forced to look at the world through a wider-angle lens since the President's renunciation. At the University of Pennsylvania, the Minnesotan reflected with almost casual eloquence on the misdirection of U.S. foreign policy. "We have relied too much on the conception of the political bloc," he said, "insisting that all nations in a given area must act as a totality. If we cannot respect nationalism and diversity in Europe, where diversity has always flourished, how can we expect to cope with diversity in Africa, Asia and Latin America? The Russian...
...longer term is coming up for wider consideration. Oppenheimer Industries, a Kansas City-based, real-es-tate-managemeift firm, was long happy with a fairly generous pay plan for employees on summer-training duty. Now that its board chairman, Harold Oppenheimer, a colonel in the Marine reserves, is on duty in Viet Nam, com pany officials say that they are working out something for those "called up for an indefinite tour...

Indeed, some saw in his style and views elements of a latter-day Wendell Willkie-a view confirmed by a thought-provoking article...
...growing market for high-performance "street iron," triggered by the introduction of the Ford Mustang in 1964, Detroit is offering an increasingly wide array of hot intermediate-sized "muscle" cars, and an even wider range of optional extras designed to make them hotter still. At the International Auto Show in Manhattan last week, the muscle cars were there in force, from Plymouth's Road Runner to Pontiac's Firebird, and they made an obvious hit with visitors. Says Ray Brock, publisher of Hot Rod magazine: "The high-performance buff can now literally 'build' his own individualized...
