Inouye's peroration was a lavish tribute to the President that could sway the whole convention. McCarthy's campaign manager, Stephen Mitchell, a former Democratic national chairman, helped feed speculation about a Johnson draft when he declared: "It may be that Mr. Humphrey feels a strong presence behind him, a man on a white horse, a certain large ranch owner from Texas."

...Feeding on Themselves. What ultimately separated the networks, of course, was the performance of their regulars. ABC staffers were the least authoritative and articulate. NBC, with its emphasis on the machinations of the floor, played down Anchormen Chet Huntley and David Brinkley and gave the ball to its fearsome foursome of floor reporters: John Chancellor, Frank McGee, Edwin Newman and Sander Vanocur. In the continuing absence of actual news, they desperately darted from delegation to delegation, chasing down the rumors that are always the prime medium of convention exchange. TV in general not only enabled rumors to feed on themselves...

False Modesty. Despite its members' zeal, the league does not proselyte in the usual sense. It offers advice and services only to women who seek them. For the most part, these are women who want to breast-feed because they think it is natural, and for them the league has published a 166-page book, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, which in ten years has sold 150,000 copies. Less common but more dramatic are the cases of babies who are allergic to cow's milk and all formulas but can not get human milk from their mothers...

...Feed Itself. Partly responsible for ADB's go-slow approach to loans is the task of getting to know its far-flung customers-and vice versa. To accomplish this, the bank offers technical assistance where necessary, as well as surveys of its findings, including a recent study of food problems facing Indonesia and South Korea. Watanabe's pragmatic belief, which is reflected in such projects as the Thai loan and the Filipino study, is that "the region's first concern is feeding itself...
