...GLASS BOOTH. Donald Pleasence displays furious intensity in his attack on the role of a Jewish tycoon who masquerades as a Nazi SS officer. But Robert Shaw's insights about victim and victimizer are transparent; his drama toys with the terrible reality of Hitler's final solution instead of illuminating...
...Democrat Donald Irwin. Representing Fairfield County, Irwin was elected in 1958, defeated in 1960, elected again in 1964 and sent back to Congress by a slim margin in 1966. This time he made things tougher for himself by calling Democratic Senator Abe Ribicoff a "creep" for his Democratic convention attack on Chicago police enforcement. Irwin lost to Republican State Representative Lowell P. Weicker Jr., 37, a lawyer who managed to unify the district's liberal and conservative Republicans...
Shattered Tradition. The Republicans scored several notable upsets. Delaware's Charles L. Terry Jr., at 68 the nation's oldest Governor, was defeated by Republican Russell Peterson, 51, who surged ahead after Terry suffered a heart attack.

Wisconsin's Warren Knowles, 60, who was not favored to retain the governorship...

Now 96% complete, the dam could probably not be destroyed by anything short of an atomic warhead, but damage to its sluice gates and other vulnerable parts could impede...
...Communist President. Long the reviled symbol for everything "bourgeois" in China, President Liu Shao-chi, 70, was expelled from the Communist Party and denounced as a "renegade, traitor and scab" as well as a tool of those familiar Red devils, "imperialism, modern revisionism and the Kuomintang reactionaries." Despite this attack, however, Liu still hangs on as President, a post from which he can legally be removed only by the National People's Congress...
