...election, said Washington's articulate Republican Governor Daniel Evans, gave the party a "very, very broad base." From this base, the G.O.P. hopes to catapult its candidate into the White House two years from now. That is quite a remarkable ambition, in view of the party's recent and desperate shortage of attractive national candidates. Suddenly, Bliss sees "a refreshing number of names," most of them belonging to moderates with immoderate ambitions. "The tremendous victories of all the potential presidential candidates confuse the 1968 picture a bit," said Nebraska's Republican National Committeeman Don Ross, adding: "It's a helluva...

"She was terrific," said a sergeant, and last week General William Westmoreland, U.S. commander in Viet Nam, honored her with a rare Certificate of Achievement for patriotic...
...with My Wife, You Don't! Triangles are square. But if one is carefully constructed with the right angle of absurdity and a base line of chatter, it can occasionally make intriguing trigonometry. The angle in this picture, as it happens, is pretty obtuse: the Air Farce, according to the script, is a gland-based gang of joystick jockeys who do almost nothing but make low-level attacks on garters of opportunity. As a result, the triangle in this picture is anything but acute. But it's cute, real cute...
