...unspoken fear was that black militants in dingy, high-rise public housing off the Dan Ryan Expressway might fire on delegates traveling to and from the hall. Two police helicopters patrolled the route. President Johnson, if he attends at all, will avoid this danger, zipping in and out by helicopter. As an added precaution, a dummy portico, modeled after the entrance to the White House, was erected in front of the amphitheatre's main door to block the aim of any rifleman. Even the airspace up to an altitude of 2,500 ft. above the convention site was banned...

California tomatoes intended for Campbell cans withered on the vine. Ohio patches went unpicked, and migrant workers hungrily moved on. Around Campbell's tomato-red brick home plant in Camden, N.J., the rich blaze of overripe fruit faded as mold...
