...that a Kennedy candidacy would have caused the largest desertions among Humphrey (42%) and McGovern (36%) voters, although 29% each of Muskie and Wallace supporters would also have switched to the Massachusetts Senator. Kennedy's name would have had the most effect in changing the votes of blue-collar workers (43%) and Democratic voters (39%). Only 7% of the cross-over Republican voters in Wisconsin would have selected Kennedy. Interestingly, if he had been on the ballot it would have made a greater difference to the middle-age and older voters (34%) than to the new and young voters...

Students tell a story of some whites dangling a black youth out a third-floor...
...body suit. Prices: $45 for the turtle neck, $35 for the scoop, $35 for the bottoms. Four-ounce refills of the cream are $8.50. The company recently introduced two-piece body suits for men, and this spring will place on sale a "safari" model with short sleeves, club collar and front pockets. Designer Cardinali has sketched "couture" print evening body suits for fall, and Geoffrey Beene already has a collection of separates designed to go with the Isotoner...
