He acknowledges repeatedly that civil order cannot be achieved without social justice but last week called Humphrey "naive" about crime. "Doubling the conviction rate in this country," said Nixon, "would do far more to cure crime in America than quadrupling the funds for Mr. Humphrey's war on poverty." He is in favor of "order with progress" when he speaks in Westchester but for "law and order" when he is in Houston or Charlotte, N.C. His approach seems to be paying off. The Louis Harris...

Last week the British Home Office announced that 800 Scientologists planning to arrive in England this week for their international congress will not be allowed to enter the country...
...heart attack; in Washington, D.C. As head of FDA, Larrick fought for stiffer regulations of food additives, in 1961 prevented the sale of thalidomide because the drug was believed to cause deformed babies, and in 1963 cracked down on the sponsors of Krebiozen, whose claim that their medicine could cure cancer was proved groundless after extensive tests...
