...Feud. Ralph Yarborough gives back every bit as much as he takes. "Let's show the world," he cries, "that old Senator Bush can't send Little Georgie down here to buy a Senate seat." He slams Bush's membership in "the fat Houston clubs," nags at Bush for his extensive billboard campaign, tells audiences: "You can find everything on those billboards except the word 'Republican.' He's got it there so small that you've got to pull over to the side of the road, stop, get out of your...
Goldwater's support was evenly divided between those who thought he'd be "a nice daddy," and those who simply couldn't stand Johnson. "Johnson's a big fat lug," said one of the latter, "and his personality is just as fat...

Indonesia's seven-course, $7.75 dinner is spiced...
Goldwater later insisted that he had been misquoted, that he was referring only to the supreme commander of NATO. No matter. By then the fat was in the fire. In the New Hampshire presidential primary, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, campaigning against Goldwater, cried: "How can there be sanity when he wants to give area commanders the authority to make decisions on the use of nuclear weapons?" Goldwater, not quite to the point, retorted that he had never proposed to "let every second lieutenant" make nuclear decisions...
