Connecticut (8): Labor leaders can no longer deliver the vote as they used to in industrial areas. Nixon leads...
...contracts that cushion both businessman and worker. Yet ever-growing welfare costs and a troubled antipoverty program that has yet to buy civil peace smack of something for nothing. The unemployed, over-fecund recipients of the taxpayers' generosity seem ever less grateful, ever more pugnacious-just as organized labor grew more militant with each advantage gained.

Cracked Carson: "She wasn't even pregnant when she got on." Flying through the Washington-Chicago-New York area known as the Golden Triangle has not yet reached that extreme. Still, delays have become so bad that the Federal Aviation Administration last week proposed limits on traffic at major airports in the triangle to make air travel more manageable. The rules are meant to cut down...
