...running mate. In order to win in November, he will need the widest possible support in the cities and among the Kennedy-McCarthy factions. Three of the Vice President's favorites for a partner on the ticket are Oklahoma's Senator Fred Harris, Maine's Senator Edmund Muskie, and San Francisco's Mayor Joseph Alioto, a Catholic liberal of whom Humphrey thinks highly. A better known possibility would be Sargent Shriver, who might reconcile some of the Kennedy partisans...
Both universities accept the need for merger, if only reluctantly. Founded by Queen Elizabeth I in 1591, Trinity College has been one of the few centers of free, unfettered thought in Ireland. Its graduates include Jonathan Swift, Oliver Goldsmith, Edmund Burke, and Samuel Beckett. Faculty traditionalists fear that the school will lose its élan and its independence in the merger.

That aphorism applied in the U.S. last week as the 10% federal income tax surcharge went into effect after months of acrimony between the President and Congress. It had long been widely acknowledged that a tax increase was necessary to stifle inflation. The White House excepted, agreement was fairly general that a sizable cutback in government spending was also in order. A $6 billion cut was the congressional price for the tax bill, and both came to pass. The question last week was whether the combination...
