Norway votes shift as Socialists lose long held government
Norway's 2.5 million voters swung away from Premier Einar Gerhardsen's Socialist Party after 30 years in power. A four party coalition is likely to replace the Socialists who held 74 of 150 seats, with Conservatives, Center, Christian People's and Liberal parties sharing power. The vote used proportionate representation, with many municipalities voting over two days. The outcome offers a cautious example to U.S. readers that long held socialist governments can be replaced by conservative coalitions and new policy directions.

Free Society Association and Goldwater Split Over FSA Goals
The piece argues Governor Romney doubts the Free Society Association is only an education group while Barry Goldwater defends it as a Republican bulwark. It questions FSA aims to recruit 100,000 members and contrasts it with existing conservative groups Americans for Constitutional Action and the American Conservative Union. It notes skepticism from conservatives like Bishop Richard Emrich and asks why leaders like Nixon or Ford aren’t backing FSA. The article suggests FSA may fail to become a mass movement like ADA.
