During his campaign, Huong indicated that he would be willing to sit down and negotiate with the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front if he were certain that it would assure "genuine peace and freedom" for South Viet Nam. Those sentiments do not endear him to Ky and his followers, who are far more fretful than Thieu about the U.S.-North Vietnamese negotiations in Paris. Ky, in fact, was off in Nha Trang when Thieu changed Premiers last week, a fact that led Saigon's hyperactive gossip mills to conclude that Ky might decide to plot a coup...
Opinions like these are not likely to endear' Dickey to certain academic coteries. Such people are also annoyed at the crashingly bourgeois publicity campaign that seems to accompany him wherever he goes. (Dickey has had the full Life magazine treatment, with photographs of him in his various uniforms.) More to the point, his critics deplore the occasional unrevised look of his poems--and certainly he can be, at times, both prolix and dull. Some would call him tasteless, but after all, tastes differ...
Romney was having other problems as well. Embarked on an eight-day tour of ten states starting in the Dakotas, he shotgunned Johnson Administration policies from the battlefields of Viet Nam to the wheat fields of the plains.

Senator Milton Young of North Dakota, who had said earlier he would support Romney if nominated, commented: "He isn't nominated yet and judging...
That sort of talk does not endear Brooke to the militants. Some hotheads in the rights movement virtually accuse him of being an Uncle Tom. To millions of other Negroes, his image is blurred at best. Because of his pale skin, his Episcopalian faith, his reserved New England manner, he is looked upon as what might be described as a "NASP"?the Negro equivalent of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Only two of his 19 Senate staffers are Negroes, because Brooke refuses to hire people on the basis of race; to many Negroes that in itself is grounds...
Tilt. Devaney's recruiting coups have done little to endear him to rival coach es, who grumble that Nebraska is "long on finances and short on academics.' That kind of criticism doesn't bother the pro scouts. Devaney already has furnished the pros with twelve players, and this year's crop of Cornhuskers is the most attractive yet. Murmured one awestruck scout, watching Nebraska take the field: "When they run out there, you can see the field tilt...
