The Week

The Economic Council of the Arab League has indicated that it wants “in” on the profits of refineries abroad which utilize Arab crude oil. And we know a vicuna herder who thinks Bernard Goldfine should pay him something on Sherman Adams’ overcoat.

We heard,, the other day, about one of the post New Year’s White House conferences held to analyze what went wrong with the Republican Party in November and what should be done to redeem it. The Party’s titular leader took an active part in the discussion, and had a straightforward diagnosis and cure. The Republicans cracked up, he explained, because under the influence of people like Richard Simpson (Chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee), “that son of a bitch” (“excuse it, but I’m an old Army man”), they didn’t go along with me; I’m what the people of this country want; I proved it in 1952, and I proved it over again in 1956. The way for the Republican Party to win next time is to be like me. That was the heart of the matter.
