...telephone dialing (against), advertising ("venal poetry") and the 1964 Free Speech Movement at Berkeley (against). In a comment that clearly foretold his attitude toward dissenters at S.F. State, Hayakawa castigated Berkeley's promoters of Free Speech. They defy authority, he complained, "yet when punitive action is threatened they holler for amnesty. They want to be martyrs without martyrdom...
There is nothing dull about the good people of Sultan, Wash, (pop.: 960). They like a county fair as much as any body else, and they'll whoop and holler with the best of them. But what happened last week was the wildest thing in Sultan's history since the 1884 visit of the Black Diamond Minstrel Company. By the thousands, strangers streamed into the tiny hamlet hard by the Skykomish (Big Sky) River, 48 miles northeast of Seattle.

The men get hooked on day-work (which they can quit easily), earning maybe $7 or $8 a day as a launderer, car washer or janitor. Or they begin hitting the bottle, hanging out in such bars as the "Country...
Nixon himself was not so quick to holler victory, though he was as genuinely surprised as anyone else by Rocky's decision. "In politics," he said, "you have contingency plans for just about everything, but our organization had absolutely no contingency plan for anything like this." Still, as he continued his campaign for Wisconsin primary votes, even Nixon had to admit that there was little standing between him and the Republican nomination but some catastrophic blunder of his own. "If we can't get the nomination now," he told TIME'S Loye Miller and John Austin...
