...Camel...
...anyone who has ever walked a mile for a Camel (or any other smoke) knows, it often pays to keep going another block or two. In Atlanta, cigarette prices range from 28? a pack at cut-rate auto-service stations to 50? at downtown nightspots. Beverly Hills, Calif., smokers have been paying prices ranging from 32? to 45? in one four-block area. Chicagoans fork over anywhere from 35? to 50? for the same sort of butts.

...Camel Droppings. After mastering the Rockettes' patented eye-high kick, explains Linda, the next most difficult task is simply learning how to survive on the Music Hall's big stage, a kind of block-long obstacle course with a jolting, linoleum-covered concrete floor.

Having amassed a grand total of 27,000 votes in 1964, the Prohibitionists-whose symbol is a camel, because, as one member explained, "it can go a long way without liquid"-decided to stick with a loser. Renominated for President was E. Har old Munn Sr., 63, an associate dean at Michigan's Hillsdale College. Named as his running mate was Topeka Evangelist Rolland E. Fisher...
