...that he had just been on the phone with Humphrey. One of the things he told the Vice President, he said, was that "I know how it is to lose a close one." With a pledge to Americans that he would seek to "bring us together," he departed for Key Biscayne, Fla., and three days of recuperation from the campaign's rigors...
...key states proved to be New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, Texas and California. By dawn, it became clear that Humphrey could not win a clear victory, but could deadlock the election if he could win two or three of those states; California was absolutely crucial. New Jersey only went to Nixon with a big assist from Wallace, who drew 250,000 votes in the Garden State.

There is great concern over demonstrations against the course, fear that an attempt will be made to close it down. The administrators are trying to face all possibilities realistically--but it's possible that by being so concerned with developing antidotes, we're actually helping to create some of the symptoms. Particularly worrisome is the possibility of a picket line which students, and perhaps even Freidel, would not cross...
