...officials were less than ecstatic, largely because of Parisians' voluble anti-Americanism, part of it engendered by the French Communist Party, Europe's second largest, and part by De Gaulle and his state-owned radio-television network. Nonetheless, there was not much real fear of disorderly protests. "The French are awfully good at maintaining order when they want to," said a U.S. official, "and we think they'll want to."

Laundry List. In Nebraska, McCarthy's campaign machine is somewhat ramshackle. He is widely unknown among Nebraskans, and until this week had made only four appearances in the state. Bobby, by contrast, is almost too familiar in the Republican bastion that gave Nixon his largest margin against John Kennedy in 1960.

Rockefeller, who was not an active candidate at the time of the voting late last month, collected...
Indeed, as it celebrated its first anniversary last week, it seemed odd that until a year ago, the U.S. had no single agency to police the safety of its largest single industry-transportation. Under the chairmanship of Joseph O'Connell Jr., 62, a tax lawyer who has been in and out of government since 1933, the safety board has not only imposed some order on the safety work of Washington's raft of regulatory agencies; it has also confounded the skeptics who thought it unequal to its herculean task...
...turnout in bright summery weather ran over 1.3 million--the largest in Indiana primary history and the largest of any of the presidential preference primaries this year
