...noted the series of photos showing Humphrey with assorted personages from 1960 to 1967. The 1960 picture caught my eye: Humphrey was very noticeably white-haired; now his hair is virtually black. Is this a New Dawn for the Vice President? Only his hairdresser knows for sure. Come to think of it, there may be a Lady Clairol lurking behind the scenes even for non-greying, 58-year-old Ronald Reagan...

...particularly opportune time for Kennedy to begin looking like a ballot-box strong man. Humphrey's campaign has been steadily picking up momentum. A Congressional Quarterly survey of Democratic Senators and Representatives showed Humphrey favored as the party's "strongest" candidate by a margin of 4 to 1 over Kennedy, 11 to 1 over McCarthy.
