Snowshoes & Skis. Meanwhile, Rocky and Senator Margaret Chase Smith were stepping up their campaigns in New Hampshire. The lady from Maine rose with the sun, stomped around in a beaver-skin coat to shield her from temperatures that reached 29 below zero, donned snowshoes to clump around in the Canadian border town of Pittsburg (pop. 200). Annoyed that press reports invariably mention her age, she said that "Winston Churchill was three years older than I when he first became Prime Minister." (Actually, he was 65 to Maggie's 66.) She also proved that she has energy enough...
...difficulties facing G.O.P. voters. It is a fearsome document, divided into five columns, containing some 125 names and running H ft. long. The fifth column is for the presidential and vice-presidential "popularity contest." In it are listed the avowed candidates: Goldwater, Rockefeller, Maine's Senator Margaret Chase Smith and Harold Stassen. Two New Hampshiremen are listed, presumably just to see their names in print: Norman Lepage, a Nashua accountant who also ran in the 1962 senatorial primary; and Wayne Green of Peterborough, publisher of a ham radio magazine, who filed for Vice President. Unlisted, but with backers busily...

First came a phalanx of women and children, and behind them the short, silent, barrel-chested men armed with slingshots, rusty rifles, and carrying Tierra o Muerte banners. Once again Peru's restless peasants were trying to chase landowners off their estates. The invasions have been going on for months, and President Fernando Belaúnde Terry has hesitated to intervene. But last week, when 8,000 peasants appeared at 14 haciendas near Cuzco in the southern highlands, troops drove them back in a pitched battle that left 17 dead, 32 wounded on both sides. Within hours, Bela...
...mystery in New Hampshire's race is precisely what Margaret Chase Smith hopes to gain by her candidacy. The answer is by no means easy. Obviously, she is gunning for the vice-presidential nomination, but equally obviously she cannot get it if any of the Eastern industrial candidates are nominated for the Presidency. Ideologically she would be totally at odds with any of them. Furthermore, she would be of little political value since what they need against President Johnson is support in the South...
