VICE PRESIDENT SPIRO AGNEW, 54, is as incapable of dissociating himself from the Nixon Administration's misdeeds -though he is trying-as Hubert Humphrey was of detaching himself from Lyndon Johnson's Viet Nam policy in 1968. Nixon is cool to Agnew, and Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman disliked him, but Agnew presented himself to the public as a 200% rooter for the team. That will be hard to live down...
...Florida, shortly before the March 14 primary, Muskie stationery was used for an unsigned letter, mailed to thousands of Floridians, falsely charging Democratic Candidates Hubert Humphrey and Henry Jackson with sexual misconduct. (Last week a federal grand jury in Orlando indicted Saboteur Segretti, charging him with conspiracy in the mailing.)

It has since attracted worldwide attention from behavioral scientists and others interested in the emotional as well as the physical well-being of the aged. The program is a particularly useful model for U.S. study. The reason: France has long had a low birth rate and now has a higher percentage of people over 65 than the U.S. (14% compared to 10%). With the recent drop in the U.S. birth rate...
