...Soviets, says West Berlin Kremlinologist Richard Loewenthal, "regard the extremists- the Mao-Lin Piao faction-as very actively anti-Soviet, and they have recently lost hope that in the struggle inside China the extremists can be defeated." Ironically, what worries the Russians most is not a major Chinese attack, but gradually expanding Chinese guerrilla infiltration of the porous border area. As the Russians are uncomfortably aware, the Chinese have for years laid claim to thousands of square miles of land that now lie within the Soviet Union, and still record it on their maps as Chinese territory...
...most likely outcome is that Georgia will be compelled to hold a new popular election in the next few months. Even this might not settle anything, because the pro-Arnall faction, called Write In Georgia (W.I.G.), is growing in strength. Democratic Representative Charles Weltner, who chose not to run for re-election because he could not stomach Maddox, warned: "We could go on forever with write-ins.

That episode left the moderate-conservative faction of the Democratic party without a statewide candidate and propelled Arnall to the front, even though Talmadge and Vandiver both favored James Gray of Albany. An urbane, Massachusetts-born publisher, Gray campaigned against the Great Society, lawlessness, and bragged that his stand during demonstrations in Albany resulted in the jailing of Martin Luther King. Gray, however, despite an enormous advertising campaign, never gained the popularity among the state's hard-core segregationists that Maddox enjoyed...
