...mere 13 minutes to mark the event, the day saw 9,560,000 shares traded, and the Dow, although off 3.56 points, finished at 882.24, a level no one would have predicted 25 years ago. On hand to salute the viable U.S. economy which made all this possible was Hubert Humphrey, who described himself as a "longstanding capitalist as the proprietor of Humphrey's Drug Store in Huron, S. Dak.," a role he played before he became Minneapolis mayor, U.S. Senator and finally Vice President...
...generally humorous, despite an unfortunate preoccupation with bathroom jokes. The rest of the bill is filled with two or three musical turns, a guest comic's bit or a mildly satirical skit, and-best of all-engaging conversations with guests who range in celebrity from Vice President Hubert Humphrey to people who are merely interesting-an Australian stowaway, a clearly spurious seer, a subway conductor turned poet...

At a leadership conference, Jim Carlin said, "Don't be against something, be for something...
...with a lower threshold of racial tension in the South and a campaign style considerably less zestful than Wallace's, Senator Strom Thurmond captured four states and 39 electoral votes for the Dixiecrats, posing a real threat to Harry Truman. Mindful of the defections to Thurmond, Vice President Hubert Humphrey has for months been playing Johnson's John Alden to Southern Democratic Gov ernors-most recently and notably with Georgia's Lester Maddox-to preclude any repetition of 1948 or, for that matter, of 1964. So far, Lurleen is the only Southern Governor openly wedded to Wallace...
