...Even liberal Minnesota was caught in the tax-cutting tide. In the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's primary for Hubert Humphrey's Senate seat, Congressman Donald Eraser was narrowly defeated by a conservative millionaire businessman, Robert Short. Eraser was one of the few Democratic candidates who still defended costly social programs. Short called Eraser's liberalism a "burden on the people" and urged a $100 billion slash in the federal budget. Even the Republican Senate candidate, Dave Durenberger, is less of a budget cutter than Short, an indication of the upheaval in the once powerful D.F.L...
...snappy black derbies and soft, shallow fedoras-as well as girlish takeoffs on student beanies, sailor hats and soldier caps. Perhaps most popular of all is the cocktail hat. Feminine flourishes of velvet and silk, they are embroidered with sequins, strewn with rhinestones and bedecked with veils. Says Designer Hubert Givenchy: "They almost change a woman's behavior. When a woman wears a veil, she does not walk the same way as when she is wearing jeans...
...environmentalists, the BWCA has long been roiled by Evinrudes and Johnsons. Even after it was included in the 1964 National Wilderness Preservation Act-making it by far the largest region of its kind east of the Rockies-logging and motorboating continued under an amendment sponsored by the late Senator Hubert Humphrey.

...effect is often tasteless. Staging a counterattack on one of Bobby's anti-Viet Nam War speeches, the Johnson White House "exhumed," as Schlesinger has it, James A. Farley, a distinguished elder of the Democratic Party. Throughout, R.F.K.'s opponents are made to look asinine or worse. Hubert Humphrey "chirruped." On the hustings in 1968, Kennedy is consistently praised for his ability to rouse mass audiences to a pitch of righteous frenzy; Lyndon Johnson, meanwhile, "pounded the podium and shouted about the war." At Martin Luther King's funeral in Atlanta, Kennedy was asked by an English...
...prospered, Wilmot became an important Democratic Party fund raiser. He has entertained New York Governor Hugh Carey and Robert Kennedy in his Rochester home. After his unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1968, Hubert Humphrey relaxed at Wilmot's 400-acre hunting reserve at Mendon, N.Y. Wilmot, his friends and associates contributed large sums to the 1974 reelection campaign of Senator Daniel Inouye, member of the Senate Aviation Subcommittee, and in 1976 to a fund set up by House Speaker Thomas P. (Tip) O'Neill, then majority leader, for the campaigns of Democratic Congressmen...
