...endorse any other candidates because he felt it would be unfair to his supporters in New York who now had to fight for their own political lives. But he may also believe that Representative Morris K. Udall cannot win and that eventually the Democrats will turn to Senator Hubert H. Humphrey. A Humphrey-Bayh ticket is not beyond the realm of possibility for 1976, and at 47, Bayh's own presidential ambitions are still alive. Maybe in 1980 he will have enough money to make it to New York...

Humphrey's personal physician, Dr. Edgar Herman, created a flap by announcing that "raging hormonal influences" made women unfit for high-pressure jobs. The most impressive work on the effects of menstruation-by Endocrinologist Dr. Katharina Dalton of London's University College Hospital-seems to lend plausibility to the Herman thesis. In studies over a 20-year period, Dr. Dalton found that the grades of female pupils showed a 15% drop when exams...
