...date white boys, that my companion can do it, that we have no hang-ups, that we have enough sense and our heads are in the right place." And when it is a case of true love, the reaction can be fiery. Says Seattle Negro Musician Ernie Hatfield, 18, of his white fiancee: "We're not trying to prove anything. We love each other, that's all. To me Linda is Linda, my girl. If you don't feel this coming, man, you're way out of step...

British Poet Edward Young's line, written in 1742, serves perfectly to describe the endlessly astonishing politics of 1968. From the snow frolics of New Hampshire to Senator Mark Hatfield's endorsement of Richard Nixon last week, the body politic has been atwitch with major shocks and minor jolts. It is a year when absolutely anything seems possible, and a lot of people are wondering-half-humorously, half-resignedly-what else might be in store politically. For example...
