...Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, for example, the six newly elected Democratic Congressmen averaged only 42 in age, as against 60 for their Republican opponents. Republican Hatfield best explained the meaning of personality to his party: "Let's face it. We had some turkeys, reactionary turkeys. I would except Goldwater because he's a sensational personality. But race-for-race, it's the middle-of-the-road Republican, in communication with the people, who can win, and it seems to me that this is our key to the future...
Rocky himself was making no promises either way. Said he: "I have no other interest in any other job except being Governor of this state." But the size and scope of his victory had made him a threat to Nixon whether he liked it or not. An Associated Press poll of Republican state chairmen last weekend showed 20 pointing to Nixon as a clear front runner, two (from New York and Massachusetts) claiming Rocky was already the leader-and ten who said it was a tossup between Nixon and Rockefeller...

These wonders are mainly attributable to the invasion of foreign machines (about 1,000,000 a year), such as Italy's Necchi, which ten years ago caught staid old Singer with its slip showing. The new gadgets on Necchi and other machines shrank Singer's sales in the U.S. from its two-thirds grip...
