...does not intend to undertake "partisan activities." If that is true, Humphrey may have reason to be grateful in the light of Johnson's plunge to a new low in the Gallup ratings (35% approval, 52% disapproval). Of course, a President can still hit the campaign trail and call it "governmental" rather than partisan activity if he so chooses. Aside from Texas, however, there are few places where the President is likely to be more an asset than a detriment to Humphrey -and even Texas could turn out to be G.O.P. territory...
...justification for their invasion, the Soviets wanted Dubċek to make a public statement thanking the Red Army for saving Czechoslovakia from the clutches of counterrevolutionaries. Dubċek refused. Nor could the Soviets prevail upon two Novotnýite conservatives, whom most Czechoslovaks suspected of issuing the call for intervention, to give some credence to the rumor by at least keeping their mouths shut.

Later they changed the name of their demonstration, for propaganda reasons, to a "work-in." By whatever name, it stopped Topekans from boasting about their mental-health facility...
...adding three new galleries on the level below the main floor. Picassos and Chagalls now hang in the recital room, where Kreeger plays his Stradivarius in string quartets with old friends, including Abe Fortas. A smaller chess room contains surrealists. Liveliest of all is the gallery that the Kreegers call their "trial and error room." Its walls display their latest contemporary acquisitions, including works by Thomas Downing, Charles Hinman, James Rosenquist, Milton Avery and Larry Poons...
