Outside those strongholds of the Deepest South, his chief impact may well be to help re-elect Lyndon Johnson by siphoning away Republican votes. Last month in Washington, in fact, Florida's G.O.P. Governor Claude Kirk charged that Wallace was being promoted as a candidate by Democrats close to the President.

A Soviet spy ship dogs every move of U.S. aircraft carriers on "Yankee Station," the 45,000-sq.-mi. area of the Tonkin Gulf from which American air strikes over North Viet Nam originate, flashing alerts to Hanoi. Other Russian ELINT ships shadow...
...year, just one the year before. A concerted attack is being waged on grounds that it is cruel and inhuman vengeance, does not work as a deterrent and is otherwise archaic. Suits by the American Civil Liberties Union and the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense Fund have blocked all executions in Florida and California until the question of whether or not the death sentence is still constitutional can be resolved in court...
