...MEETING of black students last week, John F. Hatchett, director of New York University's Martin Luther King Center, called Hubert Humphrey, Richard Nixon and United Federation of Teachers leader Albert Shanker "racist bastards." Two days later Hatchett was fired as director of the Center by NYU president James M. Hester, who said that Hatchett "has proved to be increasingly ineffective in performing his duties because of the incompatability of many of his actions and public statements with the requirements of the University." NYU students quickly occupied two campus buildings to protest the firing, and a student strike...
...Wallace's anxiety-and the quick, almost gleeful expressions of shock by Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon-it was far from clear, however, that the general would damage the ticket. In some areas, he may strengthen it. A war hero, LeMay will probably appeal to many as a man of courage. As head of the Strategic Air Command for nine years (1948-57) and Air Force Chief of Staff from 1961 to 1965, he can hardly be dismissed as a mere eccentric. As a native of Ohio and a resident of California, he gives Wallace's pitch less...
...Iowa, where endless acres of plump corn awaited harvest last week, the GOP is looking forward to a bumper crop of its own. The latest polls give Richard Nixon a 2-to-l lead over Hubert Humphrey. The GOP also has hopes of capturing the Governor's mansion, both state houses, and six of Iowa's seven seats in the House of Representatives. To avert a total rout, dejected Democrats are looking to a lone champion, Governor Harold E. Hughes, 46, a craggy-jawed former truck driver who is battling hard to avoid being buried under an anti...
...balding, grey-fringed pate, Cranston looks like a latter-day Ichabod Crane, and his campaign style is reminiscent of Sleepy Hollow. Nonetheless, he holds a substantial lead over Rafferty in recent surveys, despite the fact that G.O.P. Presidential Candidate Richard Nixon appears to be far ahead of Democrat Hubert Humphrey. Recently, Mervin Field's California Poll gave him a lead of 47% to 35%, with 13% undecided and 3% in the "won't vote" category. There is likely to be an extraordinary amount of ticket splitting; Pollster Don Muchmore found that 28% of California's Republicans...
...concern for law and order and the Viet Nam war, the economy has not become a major topic of campaign contention. Yet many-some would say most-of the problems that the new President will face are deeply entwined with economics. Without making big headlines, both Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey have placed themselves on record in considerable detail about the direction of the economy. Though both men are moderates in their attitudes toward business, their views diverge in many respects-and would lead to important differences in Washington's dealings with the business community...
