...Democrats, adding with a touch of personal bitterness: "Richard Nixon is in the White House because too many Democrats didn't come home in 1968." Now some of them seemed to be returning. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley congratulated Shriver, and one of Daley's close associates, Congressman Dan Rostenkowski, made a nominating speech for the vice-presidential candidate...
...also surprisingly strong in freestyle wrestling. Dedicated 23-year-old Dan Gable, who has won 265 of 267 matches in an eleven-year career, is an obvious gold-medal threat in the lightweight division; Wayne Wells, who finished fourth as a lightweight at Mexico, is now a welterweight and better. Among other U.S. hopes (in Greco-Roman as well as freestyle wrestling) is 444-lb. Chris Taylor, who very nearly gave up the sport after an incident that took place two years ago. "I pancaked this fellow, and I heard him screaming underneath me," he recalls. "I thought his back...
Some old people, by contrast, are active both in studies and in regular college life.

Before the Wisconsin primary, he told his youthful co-workers that if McGovern won there, he would let his hair grow. McGovern won, and Horgan let his crew cut fill out by three-quarters of an inch...
...kibbutzim are either catering to tourists or running factories. Kibbutz hotels and restaurants in 1971 brought in only $5,000,000. But revenues from the kibbutz factories were $300 million, roughly 7% of Israel's total industrial production. At a symposium for factory managers last month, Winnipeg-born Dan Karmon, of the 212-member Kibbutz Industries Association, boasted that in the next five years revenues would more than double to $700 million. Already the kibbutz factories account for 35% of Israel's total plastics production, and in the past four years output has risen 30% annually. Factories that...
