There is no sign, so far, that they are anywhere near important enough to destroy Nixon's commanding lead, but they are giving Hubert Humphrey his first real opportunity to try to build a cumulative attack on his Republican rival...

Despite their overpowering military presence, they still remain unable to find a political quisling to do their bidding.

...restore order and respect for law in this country," said Richard Nixon when fie accepted the Republican presidential nomination in August, "there's one place we're going to begin: we're going to have a new Attorney General." Sharp as it was, Nixon's attack on Attorney General Ramsey Clark was almost kind compared to what some of Clark's other critics have been saying. On Capitol Hill, Clark's foes, both Republican and Democrat, refer to him as "Cream Puff." One Congressman, Republican Durward Hall of Missouri, has gone...
