...have had to admit to the federal government (which pays 90 per cent of the highway's costs) that it was wrong more than a year ago when it first chose the Brookline-Elm route; the DPW was not to be moved easily from its initial endorsement just because Gov. John A. Volpe -- in the midst of a campaign for reelection -- had ordered a restudy of the highway...
...less zestful than Wallace's, Senator Strom Thurmond captured four states and 39 electoral votes for the Dixiecrats, posing a real threat to Harry Truman. Mindful of the defections to Thurmond, Vice President Hubert Humphrey has for months been playing Johnson's John Alden to Southern Democratic Gov ernors-most recently and notably with Georgia's Lester Maddox-to preclude any repetition of 1948 or, for that matter, of 1964. So far, Lurleen is the only Southern Governor openly wedded to Wallace. As Virginia's Mills Godwin puts it: "I see no evidence that his methods...
Burack won't have to feel impatient much longer. A Senate investigation into drug pricing will begin next week and Gov. John A. Volpe has already called for one in Masachusetts. And some thing may come out of these hearings, something more productive than the Kefauver investigations on monopoly drug pricing, because now for the first time, everyone will know that brand name drugs cost two to twenty times as much as their generic equivalent. Burack's book will at last let the public in on what pharmacists and many physicians have known for years...
While this lapse--and others--results either from myopia, misinformation, or verbal hysteria, the handling of the actual events of the assassination and the assassin is more disturbing.

Despite Connally's recollection that the first shot did not hit him, Manchester writes "it had passed through...Connally's back, chest, right wrist, and left thigh, although the Governor, suffering a delayed reaction, was not yet aware of it." Certainly Connally may be wrong and Manchester...
...ranking Republican estimates that 22 of the 25 G.O.P. Gov ernors think he would make the best candidate the party could put up. Jack Kennedy admitted after his eyelash victory over Nixon in 1960 that Rocky might have beaten him. With Lyndon Johnson in low esteem among many Democrats and among the independents, who now comprise 27% of U.S. voters (v. 46% for the Democrats, 27% Republicans), Rockefeller could probably collect more of their votes than any other Republican...
