Caridi applies Norman Graebner's test of a political party's wisdom: in attempting to expand its influence through the successful use of foreign policy symbols, do the assumptions of the party form the basis of responsible alternatives that recognize national limitations? The research here indicates failure in that test, although the Republican Party, in a now familiar role, had been successful in transforming popular discontent into political victory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe spirit, issues, and personalities of the times are illustrated by reprints of Herblock cartoons of the period.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRonald J.
