...Democrats, 26 million Republicans-is expected. The election stands in marked contrast with 1964, when the Goldwater candidacy distorted traditional voting patterns and moved 4,000,000 G.O.P. voters into the Democratic column. The impact of the Kennedy assassination, important in the 1964 vote, will have little or no effect this time around...
...under their noses that they fail to realize how many of the nation's transport troubles originate in Washington. Ever since 1887, when the Interstate Commerce Act first fastened rate control on railroads, legislators have been piling law upon law and agency upon agency without considering the total effect.
