...royal color, but burdened with weights: a difficult war, the clamor for peace, and L.B.J. himself. After all, what with "image" difficulties and credibility gaps, the President can be his own worst handicap. Peering out from behind Johnson is Bobby Kennedy in shamrock green. Behind him is an aloof Hubert Humphrey, only slightly touched by the presidential purple (some people are more purple than others...
Early Exposure. As Hubert Humphrey ended a two-week visit to Europe last week, Nixon, continuing his world tour, began a month-long swing through Asia. Romney-at last-discussed Viet Nam in Connecticut, and Illinois' Republican Senator Charles H. Percy addressed party workers in New Hampshire. California's Republican Governor Ronald Reagan, in office just 100 days as of this week, has already paid three visits to Washington.

Far from it. The Administration is only too well aware of Europe's problems -and only too eager to resolve...
...Castilleja blandly testified that he had only a platonic relationship with Mrs. Alcorta. In 1957, after Alcorta had faced execution eleven times, the Supreme Court reversed the conviction on the ground that Castilleja had actually been Mrs. Alcorta's "lover and paramour"-a vital fact of which Prosecutor Hubert W. Green Jr. was fully aware. In 1958 Green was named Texas' Outstanding Prosecutor...
