...does not look feasible this year, Lindsay might position himself to run for the New York governorship in 1974. From Albany, as leader of the New York delegation to the convention in 1976, the nomination might be accessible, assuming that Nixon is re-elected next year. If a Democrat wins in 1972, then presumably Lindsay would have to wait until 1980, when he would be only...
...have relations with Red China," Mississippi Democrat James O. Eastland declared in Washington last week, "let us do so with our eyes open." The conservative Senator's personal contribution to the effort seemed more calculated to make eyes pop. A 46-page study published under the imprimatur of Eastland's Senate Internal Security subcommittee last week blames Mao Tse-tung and his comrades for the deaths of anywhere from 34,300,000 to 63,784,000 Chinese since Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists began fighting Mao Tse-tung's Communists...

...black leaders, those who spend their time in querulous complaint and constant recrimination against the rest of society." Agnew overlooked the obvious fact that these African rulers after all run their own countries; they could hardly be expected to engage in "querulous complaint" about their own regimes. Maryland Democrat Parren Mitchell, a member of the black congressional caucus, wondered if Agnew was suggesting that black Americans should fight racism in the U.S. in the manner of Jomo Kenyatta, who was convicted of leading the bloody Mau Mau uprisings in Kenya before independence...
