...have coalesced to help. Tom Finney, a former Eugene McCarthy aide, arrived to reorganize the campaign. Junior Senator Fred Harris, a Hubert Humphrey lieutenant, became cochairman. There is even a newly formed "Minis for Monroney" to combat the "Bellmon Belles." Yet the latest polls show that Monroney has slipped behind Bellmon by as much as 6%. No Republican ever rates a shoo-in role in Oklahoma. However, unless Harris goes on the national ticket and somehow sweeps the state, Monroney may get to know Oklahoma much better after the November election...
Reassuring Words.

Afterward, they received his blessing and gave him gifts, including a bottle of chicha (corn beer) from Chile and a Peruvian wreath of alpaca, llama, and vicuna known as a chopo...
...retirement mandatory at 65, and Columbia's trustees accepted Kirk's resignation even though they have not yet settled on his successor. Apparently divided over whether the retirement would seem too much of a concession to student rebels, the trustees debated the matter for nearly four hours behind closed boardroom doors. But in the end it was obvious that the student uprising had, indeed, forced Kirk's departure...
