Where Republicans Lead. The G.O.P. appears likely to hold onto its Senate seats from Michigan, Massachusetts and Nebraska (where two are up, but only one is in serious contention). In Michigan, Democrat Patrick McNamara has had some good breaks, e.g., Defense Secretary Wilson's bird-dog remarks, but Republican Incumbent Homer Ferguson is holding on for dear life to an early lead. Nebraska's Republican Candidate Roman Hruska would be considered a good conservative in almost any other state; in Nebraska, his moderate tendencies have him in some trouble-although probably not enough for Democrat James Green...

Long before his predecessor at G.M., Defense Secretary Charlie Wilson, made his crack about bird dogs and kennel dogs (TIME, Oct. 25), Curtice described the new Chevrolet as having "a hound-dog look"-long, low and forward-plunging.

Wilson's story was about a migrating bird who arrived late at a Southern rendezvous "because it got mixed up in the darnedest badminton game...
...cowlick sticking up atop his head, got up before 1,500 people to eat his words-and he did it without choking. "Some of the advance publicity for this meeting," he said, "was not planned." He went on: "I made a mistake-an unfortunate mistake-by bringing up those bird dogs at the same time I was talking about people . . . Right here, right now, I want to say to the American people that I am sorry...
