...sharper clash may come on a more comprehensive bill being pushed by two Democrats, Senator Hubert Humphrey and Congressman Augustus Hawkins of California. It would set "full employment" as a national goal to be met within perhaps three years; 3% would be the target unemployment rate. The President would have to submit plans to provide every American "able and willing to work" with a job, using a "standby job corps" to hire those unable to find employment. The independent Federal Reserve Board would be required to tailor its monetary policies to meet the employment target-a step toward a planned...
Humphrey's Problem. If a deadlocked Democratic convention nominated Hubert Humphrey, how would he go over with voters? In a national survey conducted for TIME by Yankelovich, Skelly and White, 1,002 Americans were asked if they found Humphrey acceptable as a candidate, regardless of their first choice for President. Only 40% of the sample said they did; a walloping 46% found him unacceptable, probably a reflection that he has been around too long. By contrast, President Ford was acceptable to 58% and unacceptable to only 36%, and Ronald Reagan also had a favorable rating...
...will pick up another candidate: Idaho's Frank Church, 51, who has won splashy headlines as chairman of the Senate committee investigating U.S. intelligence agencies. He plans to announce in early March. Last week his campaign committee sent flyers to 35,000 Democrats in an attempt to stop Hubert Humphrey, the undeclared possible compromise candidate.

What of the depression, cramps and pains accompanying menstruation? The traditional explanation is that they are caused by hormonal changes. In 1970 Senator Hubert H. Humphrey's personal physician, Dr. Edgar Herman, created a flap by announcing that "raging hormonal influences" made women unfit for high-pressure jobs. The most impressive work on the effects of menstruation-by Endocrinologist Dr. Katharina Dalton of London's University College Hospital-seems to lend plausibility to the Herman thesis. In studies over a 20-year period, Dr. Dalton found that the grades of female pupils showed a 15% drop when exams...
...that he is, among other things, a closet racist. The New Republic, which liked him in April, decided in January that "up to now, Carter has been unjustifiably considered part of the liberal pack." Politicians, especially, have seized opportunities to undercut Carter: when he recently referred in public to Hubert Humphrey's "record as a loser," Democrats of divergent political plumage leaped to Humphrey's defense. But when Edwin Muskie made a similar comment a week or so later, no one complained. In fact, Democrats seem so clearly to have declared an open season on Carter, writes Jack...
