...contenders seek pledges of support. The odds have traditionally favored the incumbent President, who commands potent leverage. A selective White House survey of Democratic House members, excluding the prowar, pro-L.B.J. Southerners, showed fhat 160 preferred Johnson, eleven Kennedy, three McCarthy. In a New York Times count, Democratic state leaders predicted that 65% of the delegate votes at the convention would go to L.B.J. (for a total of 1,725 convention votes, more than 400 above the 1,312 needed for nomination), with the remainder divided among others-790 votes for Kennedy and McCarthy, 61 for Alabama...
...more than three million registered Democratic voters simply do not count for much in the June 18 delegate primary. In theory, they should control 188 of the 190 delegate votes--since they elect three delegates in each of the state's 41 Congressional districts and also choose the 300 state committeemen who then fill 65 more delegate seats when they meet in Albany. In theory, only the two seats given to national committeemen are pre-ordained. In practice, however, the delegation is being shaped right now in the proverbial back rooms...

Word of his crackdown reached the press, and suddenly he found he had struck a deep, responsive chord throughout the U.S. He received, by his count, 8,000 letters and telegrams. Only 22 were disapproving...
...Marine Corps. Since all of these courses carry full credit, it is possible to earn more than twenty per cent of the credits required for a Harvard degree in NROTC--this is the highest percentage of any ROTC unit in the Boston area. Harvard's NROTC students, however, only count about one half of these courses toward graduation, and carry the remainder as fifth courses...
