...down at just the right moment. Meticulous planning schedules put the nominee at just the place where the turnout will be largest and the crowd will be the most responsive. More than 11,000 turned out last week in Anaheim, Calif., 5,000 in Fresno, 10,000 in Salt Lake City, 250,000 to watch the candidate's motorcade in Philadelphia. The press is kept happy with a steady if low-protein diet of news releases. The staff radiates efficiency and confidence. "There's a scent of victory in the air," Richard Nixon allowed last week...
...Alexander Ginzburg called them, that The First Circle is most harrowing. Solzhenitsyn writes of one of these camp complexes as "a kingdom bigger than France." Each camp bore a bucolic code name such as Lake Camp, Steppe Camp, Sandy Camp. "You'd think there must be some great, unknown poet in the secret police, a new Pushkin," writes Solzhenitsyn.

Coho salmon were being caught in fresh-water Lake Michigan by the thousands. And every strike was a battle. The silvery coho salmon are 2 ft. long, weigh 15 Ibs. and more. "They're all different," said Ron Jenkins of Battle Creek, Mich., who had caught three in his first half-hour. "Some will jump; some will go deep. They'll all fight." Said a farmer who had been trying...
...folky manner. Woody Guthrie's socialist hymn to Pretty Boy Floyd gets an authentic bluegrass treatment here, and Blue Canadian Rockies, an old Gene Autry tune, will bring back memories of the Hollywood cowboy astride his horse Champion, galloping through "the golden poppies. . .
