After all of the buildup and suspense, the televised clash in the pressure-pot atmosphere of Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theater failed to crystallize voter opinion. Each man pointedly assailed the other at times. But neither seemed eager for?and the non-debate format prevented?a direct and personal showdown. The language occasionally was tough, yet both candidates seemed wary of breaking any new ground. Perhaps having overstudied the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debates and apparently intent on showing how knowledgeable they were, both candidates threw out briefing-book statistics in baffling profusion.

...most likely explanation for the murder is that that killing represents a serious clash between DINA, the dread Chilean secret police, and the military for control over the witchhunt of Allende sympathizers.

Integration has a way to go in the South, but the ugly confrontations of the '50s and '60s, the bombings and Klan revivals, the school riots and statehouse harangues seem as remote as the Dred Scott decision. It is up North, in staid Boston, that the races clash and skirmish. Little Rock, Ark., scene of former Governor Orval Faubus' strident segregationist harangues, has thoroughly integrated its schools...
