...most conservative men in the party?counterattacked on Nixon's behalf. Goldwater chatted with Southerners in his hotel suite. Thurmond and Tower took some waverers for boat rides.

Astonished by the break in his usual four-letter rhetoric, she asked: "Who wrote that?" "I did," confessed Mitchum. "When I was 15.

The two sides agreed to submit one of the thorniest problems...

For MCA, one of the principal attractions of the $385 million stock-swap deal is Westinghouse's higher dividend. And nobody stands to benefit more than MCA's founder and chief stockholder, Chairman Jules Caesar Stein, 72, whose 27% stake in the company has a current market value of almost $90 million. By converting his MCA holdings to Westinghouse stock, Stein's annual dividend return would rise from $1,200,000 a year...
