Cavanagh and other Sixties Liberals including, perhaps, Robert Kennedy, have profited from the success during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations of all the causes that men like Williams and Hubert Humphrey fought for in the fifties. What the Detroit newspapers railed against ten years ago, they now accept, and Cavanagh, like LBJ, knows how to use their acceptance to make further gains. At the same time, Republicans--even Michigan Republicans--have changed. George Romney managed to convince voters that he was not the same kind of politician as the reactionaries that controlled the State Senate (although he is closer...
...civil rights workers. It was at least slightly embarrassing to the state that Coleman, one of the local white courthouse-hangers-on who are so often available for jury duty in the South, was on the venire list for his own trial. Another all-white Alabama jury did convict Hubert Strange last December for murdering a Negro motorist near Anniston; compared with the almost certain death that a Negro defendant would have drawn had the motorist been white, Strange got ten years, a sentence that makes him eligible for parole in three years...
...Your "good things in small packages" analysis of the sale of the postcard-size Hubert Van Eyck oil [March 25, p. 69], and mention of the advantages of the rare stamp [p. 88], made me check the value of the world's most valuable postage stamp, the British Guiana 1? of 1856.

What else did the hearings accomplish? Because Hubert Humphrey three weeks ago quoted the testimony of Columbia University Sinologist A. Doak Barnett that the U.S. was interested in "containment without isolation" of Red China, many people assumed that the Administration had made a switch in policy. It was hardly that, because China has not been isolated, and certainly not by the U.S. In testimony last week, Professor George Taylor, a University of Washington Asia expert, pointed out that, far from being isolated, Peking has diplomatic relations with 48 nations. "It is Peking that is trying to isolate us," said Taylor...
Luci Johnson's August wedding promises to be quite a production, but it couldn't be any livelier than the one Hubert Humphrey is cooking up. His second son, Robert, 22, a junior at Minnesota's Mankato State College, will marry Collegemate Donna Erickson, 21, on July 9 in Minneapolis, and since the Vice President loves a party, he is turning over his eight-room house in Waverly, Minn., for the blowout reception. Hubert even promised the kids he'd bring Herb Alpert's stomping Tijuana Brass band to the party, and with...
