...America, "A Nation Within a Nation" [May 17], certainly brought home to Americans in a meaningful way the shameful conditions that exist in our nation. Doesn't it seem strange that, after some thirty-five years of political leadership that has given us such slogans as New Deal, Fair Deal, New Frontier, Unfinished Business, Great Society, we should be plagued with such poverty? Doesn't this suggest some kind of a failure in our political leadership and that perhaps we have been mesmerized by Madison Avenue slogans rather than trying to find out the cause of poverty...
Charging into New York, he thrust aside resident Democratic aspirants to take on Republican Senator Kenneth Keating. The avuncular, popular incumbent accused the Kennedy people of distorting his record, and the nonpartisan Fair Campaign Practices Committee sided with Keating.

At the annual Hannover fair, Nixdorf's first-time display became a magnet for Germans interested in business machines; of the fairgoers who visited the Nixdorf booth, 780 were classified as "serious customers," and the company now anticipates at least 200 new sales as a result. Founder-Owner Heinz Nixdorf, 43, has also completed...
...Ruhr Valley utility firm. When Nixdorf and one assistant built an economical working computer for the company, so many orders quickly followed that Nixdorf quit school and opened his own shop. Since that time, he has sold 5,000 small computers. Even without new orders from the Hannover fair, he anticipates selling another 4,000 this year alone for total sales of at least $25 million...
