Overwhelmed. The shifting group of conferees contained its own roster of notables: Thomas Dewey, Herbert Brownell, Billy Graham, Everett Dirksen, Gerald Ford, Barry Goldwater, Karl Mundt, Party Chairman Ray Bliss. Finally, after a brief break for a nap and a breakfast of cold cereal, Nixon convened still another meeting. By this time, the possibilities had been reduced to five: Senator Charles Percy; Lieutenant Governor Robert Finch of California, a longtime Nixon friend and associate; Congressman Rogers Morton of Maryland; Governor John Volpe of Massachusetts ("It might be nice," Nixon observed, "to have an Italian Catholic on the ticket...
...hopes of giving the dissidents a fair hearing at the convention, a group of Democrats led by Iowa's Governor Harold Hughes last week formed the unwieldy sounding Commission of Democratic Selection of Presidential Nominees. Its aims are to campaign for abolition of the unit rule, offer guidelines on seating of disputed delegations, and work to ensure adequate representation for minority groups. Yet Hughes, now running for the Senate, is unhappy with McCarthy as well as Humphrey. Once a confidant of Lyndon Johnson, Hughes fell out with the Administration, largely because of the war, and became a Robert Kennedy...
...confusion was understandable. When Massamba-Debat came to power five years ago, he quickly set the former French colony on a course toward what he called "scientific socialism." His National Revolutionary Movement became the sole political party, and the members of its armed youth group, the Jeunesse, ruled the streets of Brazzaville.

A good deal of economic aid and advice came from China and the Soviet Union, and the President paid a visit to Peking...
Political squabbles, economic pressures and social problems add to the government's burden. The Assembly, a hawkish group of men mostly from a middle class that stands to lose more from peace than the war-weary peasantry, distrusts Huong. Assembly members consider him soft on the issue of negotiations with the Communists. A Lower House deputy, Tran Quy Phong, recently threatened that "if Huong's government seeks a compromise with the Communists, it will be overthrown by the people." Inflationary pressure has mounted. Since Tet, the government has issued a billion piasters ($8,500,000) in new currency...
Sterilization in All. To test their premise, the Czechs dripped solutions containing 1, 10 and 100 micrograms of DMF on three groups of ten male linden-bugs, then placed each group in a separate container with ten normal females. As the bugs mated, eggs laid by the females were carefully watched. None of those from females confined with males treated with 100 micrograms of DMF ever hatched. Few eggs from the 10-microgram group and only half from the 1-microgram group eventually hatched into larvae. Analysis of the females that had mated with the 100-microgram males proved that...
