...chilling postscript to the affair, it turned out that the would-be assassin, Arthur Bremer, was stalking not only Governor George Wallace. Authorities learned soon after the shooting that in early April Bremer had registered at New York's Waldorf-Astoria at the same time Hubert Humphrey was supposed to have been there. Humphrey, as it happened, had canceled his trip. Last week a picture was released of Bremer in Ottawa later in April in a crowd outside Parliament, while inside, President Nixon was appearing with Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

...California. As the Democratic presidential contenders near the end of their punishing primary ordeal, the stakes in next week's voting for California's 271 delegates are huge.

There seemed no sign of that for the present. Both George McGovern and Hubert Humphrey indicated last week that they would have to continue campaigning as before. Each candidate is now protected by squads of Secret Service men, at a cost of $200,000 a month for each detail, yet there seems ultimately no way of guaranteeing a public man's safety...
