...understand all this fuss in Florida about busing. Busing is a fine old Southern tradition. When I was growing up in the South, I was bused every day for twelve years to all-white schools. An all-black school was closer to my house. Where were all those parents against busing then...
Unmarked Vans. No show in the staid B.M.'s history ever generated such fuss or demanded such elaborate preparation. First, a firm of English packers spent five weeks in Cairo crating the treasures-each wrapped in cellophane, encased in plastic quilts, set on a foam cushion tray and finally shut in a carpeted crate. The museum stepped up its security precautions. When this groundwork (estimated cost: $900,000) had been done, the 41 crates were flown at night from Cairo in two BOAC freighters and one R.A.F. jet, then secretly whisked to the museum.

He was doubly hurt in the Florida fuss over revealing financial support. When McGovern, Lindsay and Humphrey voluntarily agreed to open their books, Muskie was criticized for holding back. When he promised to reveal his sources, it looked as though he had been forced into it-and some Republican donors will likely be embarrassed. Business leaders who like to hedge their bets by giving to the leading contenders in both parties...
