...celebrities worked the long nights at the convention hall. Two McGovern workers, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, stayed mostly out of sight at McGovern headquarters. The big-party syndrome seemed gone for the most part, a vestige of another kind of politics. Noted Eleanor McGovern's press secretary, Mary Hoyt: "I looked for invitations and you know, there weren't any. If there were, what would people think? That we were down here for a party...
...Children have won over two important figures in the broader Jesus movement: David Hoyt, of Atlanta's street ministries, and Linda Meissner, of Seattle's Jesus People Army.

All-New England Charlie Koch, sailing in A-division with crew Edgar Pulitzer, was low-point skipper for the regatta. Chris Middendorf, with Doug Libby, in B-division, sailed well but was twice the victim of disaster. In the first race, Middendorf lost a rudder and his second place finish shortly before crossing the line. In the next race, finding himself in first place ten yards before the finish, he capsized. With the gust of wind, first place...
