...take the Crimson long to pick the 14th individual victory to clinch the team win. Gordon Ruttledge opened the final round with a 5-3 triumph to confirm the outcome...
...expense. More important, the energy of the candidates would be husbanded and expended on meaningful effort. The public would be spared political oversell. The successful challenger presumably would arise on the morning after his election reasonably clear of eye and steady of limb. Within a few hours, he would confirm the designation of his Cabinet and other high officers and then resume polishing his prose and his programs for the day two months away when he would assume the presidential mantle. At that hour he would be an executive off and running...
...dour Russian diplomats hustled their charge through Kennedy Airport, they were met by a determined contingent of U.S. State Department and immigration officials.

A few days later Richard Nixon quietly followed suit. This week Hubert Humphrey was all set to end the non-suspense over his intentions with a speech in Philadelphia, thus formalizing the contest between the two 1968 Democratic running mates. In themselves, the declarations will have small effect on the relative positions of the candidates of either party...
