...from the California Republican Assembly despite a Rockefeller attempt to block it. Actually the C.R.A. is a dwindling power in state politics, and its boost gave Goldwater little more than a psychological victory. But Barry made the most of it. After a surprise visit to the winter retreat of Dwight Eisenhower in Palm Desert. Barry reported that Ike said "he does not think it wise for Republicans to fight Republicans," and implied that this was a criticism of Nelson Rockefeller. At a fund-raising dinner in Los Angeles, Goldwater fired a volume of metaphors at President Johnson and the Bobby...
Last week Rowe's reactor became a pawn in disarmament negotiations in Geneva. The U.S. announced that henceforth the reactor would be open to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency, an 86-member organization set up in 1957 as part of Dwight Eisenhower's Atoms for Peace plan. Adrian S. Fisher, U.S. delegate to the 17-nation disarmament conference, explained that I.A.E.A. inspection of Rowe's reactor will be a permanent arrangement "whether or not other states reciprocate."

Besides that, Lodge people planned to mail out 94,000 sample ballots this week, showing voters how to write in Lodge's name and how to vote for his delegates. With heady optimism, they predicted he would get 27,000 votes...
...more than friendship, though, binds the two men. Thirty years in the company of politicians have instilled in White an ineradicable appreciation of the genus. He likes politicians, and they respond by liking him; such disparate types as Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Byrd, Richard Russell, Richard Nixon and the late Robert A. Taft all warmed to Columnist White. From White's host of friends, Johnson emerges as the man who best typifies all that Bill White says he values in the political craft. "He is a pragmatic man and not a theorist, an actionist and not a philosophic thinker," White...
