...personality, Johnson will almost certainly have Hubert Humphrey as his running mate. The President has been leaning on Hubert more and more in recent months. Since Jan. 1, Humphrey has logged 19,700 miles within the U.S., and he has minced no words with party functionaries. To those who complain about Johnson, he says: "Don't poison the well you're going to be drinking from next year." To liberals who have parted ways with the President over Viet Nam, he snaps: "You go off in a corner and scream, and then you complain that only the hawks...
...easy for most black African leaders to complain about apartheid and call for the destruction of the South African and Rhodesian governments that practice it. Malawi's President Hastings Kamuzu Banda is forced to be more pragmatic. Not only is his nation almost surrounded by white-ruled Mozambique, but it depends for its livelihood on the earnings of Malawian workers in the factories and mines of South Africa and Rhodesia. Malawi is the only black African nation that openly refuses to comply with the U.N. economic sanctions against Rhodesia, and last month it became the first black African nation...
...horsemen complain that New York State benefits more from racing than any other state in the U.S.-while doing less to encourage the sport. Out of every dollar that passes through the parimutuel windows at Aqueduct and Saratoga, 100 goes to the state, and 50 to the tracks for operating expenses and purses.

In the wake of U.S. Supreme Court rulings setting stringent guidelines for policemen to follow in searching, seizing and questioning suspects, many law-enforcement officers complain that they are hamstrung. Said one disgruntled Corpus Christi, Texas, cop: "It's getting so bad that lawyers practically have to ride around in patrol cars." That's precisely what Frank Carrington and a number of other young lawyers, trained at Northwestern's Law School under a $300,000, five-year Ford Foundation grant, have been doing. "The resolution of conflicts between maximum police efficiency and maximum individual liberty...
Many Israelis complain that the slowdown has been too abrupt. Last month 7,000 jobless marched through Tel Aviv shouting "unemployment is no solution" and demanding "bread and work." Even Bank of Israel economists are charging that the country is "in a state of paralysis." Defending mitun, Sapir points out that his policies have cut the growth of consumer spending by more than half, narrowed the balance of payments deficit by 14% to $450 million. "Had we gone on for three more years as before," he insists, "we would have ended up in a catastrophe...
