Congressional Drift Between Parties in the 83rd and 84th Sessions
In a 1956 World Today column James Marlow notes that Democratic and Republican rifts were mostly by degree rather than kind. He observes intra party contrasts between Northern and Southern Democrats and liberal vs conservative Republicans, with voters seeing little difference in several elections. The piece recalls Eisenhower era shifts, Democratic gains in 1954, and partisan friction during the 83rd and 84th Congresses as debates over New Deal policies continued.
