...registered voters, the Democrats hold a 1,500,000-vote edge. But Murphy built up an early lead in populous Los Ange'es County, and Pierre's upstate strength proved too little too late. A onetime promoter of right-win'? causes, Campaigner Murphy sud- den y became the soul of moderation- around moderates-yet kept the Goldwaterites happy. Then when Pierre came out against a proposed amendment which, in effect, would repeal most state and local anti-discrimination housing laws, Murphy kept his lip buttoned. The proposition won. Then there was the carpetbag issue...
...highly sophisticated issue, may decide the election. Having hedged for several months, the ex-Governor has finally come out strongly for House Bill 3000, which would transfer the statutory powers of the Governor's Council to the Governor. A constant hurdle to firm executive leadership, and frequently a den of corruption, the Council has drawn fire from nearly all of the state's independent political organizations.

Only on some sections of Under den Linden, where many buildings have escaped bombing or been restored, does one feel some of the grandeur of old Berlin.

Crest doubled its sales within a year, then passed Colgate Dental Cream, the longtime leader, to win the nation's No. 1 selling spot. The side effects of Crest's leap were consider able: a few fringe toothpastes were forced off the market, other brands' advertising budgets soared to keep up with Crest, and almost everybody in the business hurried back to the laboratory...
...thirds majority required for cloture, and victory. "That's it," cried a Senator. Newsmen sprinted to telephones that had been held open. Mike Mansfield sagged in relief. Dick Russell, grim as death, scribbled fitfully on a yellow pad. Out of the cloakroom hobbled Arizona's Carl Hay den, 86, president pro tempore of the Senate and the man who stands next only to House Speaker John McCormack in the line of succession to the U.S. presidency. Although a longtime foe of cloture, Hayden this time had told Mansfield he might vote for it if he was really needed. He wasn...
