...Northerners still remembered his blunt demand for the "immediate and unconditional" surrender of Fort Donelson in 1862: "I propose to move immediately upon your works." Donelson surrendered. Finally in March 1864, Lincoln himself remembered, and Grant was given charge of all the Northern armies, Moving East to take personal command of the ill-starred Army of the Potomac. Lincoln had found his general, and though the war lasted for another arduous year, the outcome was never again seriously in doubt...

To main tain a semblance of secrecy, Asifa is organized into c. like "elements" of 30 to 40 men, each of which takes orders only from a central high command.

These states and the four territories command a heavy majority of the delegate votes that will be cast at Chicago-1,568 out of 2,622. And of the 15 primaries (14 states and the District of Columbia), several are not subject to direct challenge. In Ohio, for instance, Senator Stephen Young seems to have the 115-vote delegation behind him as a favorite son. Young has been planning-at least so far-to release these votes to Johnson...
