...some beyond it. During his first month as an announced candidate, he raised nearly $1,000,000. Most of this money, plus additional cash gleaned later in the spring, was largely devoured-"wasted," say some of his aides-in primary contests where Humphrey was not even officially entered. The aim was to reduce Robert Kennedy's momentum. Among the gambits used was the quiet funneling of money to McCarthy headquarters via labor unions. Humphrey's organization was so sloppy or overconfident during that period that when Angier Biddle Duke sent a letter volunteering to solicit funds...
...Recently, Mervin Field's California Poll gave him a lead of 47% to 35%, with 13% undecided and 3% in the "won't vote" category. There is likely to be an extraordinary amount of ticket splitting; Pollster Don Muchmore found that 28% of California's Republicans aim to cross over to Cranston, 16% of the Democrats to Rafferty...

Blackouts, slapstick, instant skits pinwheel before the eyes; chatter and sound effects collide in the ear. Other TV variety shows can be dropped intact onto a theater or nightclub stage, but Laugh...
...million Camino Real, looks like a fortress. To guests, including the International Olympic committeemen checking in last week, that might have been a reassuring thought while students battled the army. But nothing could have been farther from the mind of Architect Ricardo Legorreta when he designed the hotel. His aim had been simply to create an oasis of greenery and quiet in the center of a bustling, dusty city. "People are pushed and rushed too much," says Legorreta.
