The article focuses on the election campaigning in the U.S. It seems as if major parties had initialed a secret protocol to exclude the major issues. Thunderous debates have echoed across the country over various questions. The tendency to evade issues has been reflected, too, in the choice of candidates. In several key Senatorial campaigns, voters have been presented with candidates neither of whom, from any coherent liberal point of view, represent a desirable choice. In others, such as those in New Jersey and Kentucky, the margin of preference is microscopically thin. There has been no significant debate on foreign policy, on the loyalty-security program, on foreign-trade policy on civil liberties.
