Rocking-Chair Candidate. McCarthy's supporters charged that the whole convention was being set up with Humphrey's needs in mind. But in reality it was Lyndon Johnson who was in control, and he did not seem overly interested in rigging the convention for his Vice President. Each of the 5,611 delegates and alternates received a free copy of To Heal and To Build, a collection of Johnson speeches.

Last year, when Tanzania nationalized sisal plantations in an attempt to control its traditional No. 1 crop, scores of white settlers were left without compensation. Now the Socialists in Dar es Salaam are quietly advising some ex-sisal farmers that they can have their plantations back. The government has decided that it is better, after all, for the individual entrepreneur to lose money than...
