Little Logic. George McGovern, by contrast, had inevitable difficulty in rousing a constituency. He blitzed New York City on radio and TV interviews, toured slums and allowed: "I regret not having started much earlier." His late candidacy aroused suspicions, especially in the McCarthy camp, that McGovern had actually entered the race to promote himself as a vice-presidential possibility on a Humphrey ticket. For the present, however, Humphrey is leaning more toward Sargent Shriver, New Jersey Governor Richard Hughes, Oklahoma Senator Fred Harris, former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford, or San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto...
...world undoubtedly expected too much of the Africans: invaded by foreigners as different from themselves as Martians would be from Americans, they were governed like Helots for less than a century, then abruptly cast aside. Africans were roughly in the late Iron Age when the 19th century European colonizers arrived; yet they have been expected to do in a decade or two what took the U.S. and Europe, with far more natural and human resources, several centuries to accomplish. Compared with the West's bloody record of religious and world wars, the Africans have been surprisingly restrained...
...major address in Bogota, Pope Paul is expected to urge the church to support moderate economic and political reforms, in the spirit of his social encyclical Populorum Progressio.

California's Los Alamitos Race Course, a $15 million complex 35 miles south of Los Angeles, was built in 1947 by Frank Vessels Jr. and his late father on the site of a former beet farm. Los Alamitos drew 457,080 fans last year and attendance is up 30% this year. It pays better than beets, too: close to $750,000 a night passes through Los Alamitos' parimutuel windows...
...years in the South traveling from oil boom to oil boom (13 schools, straight A's, a degree in journalism from Louisiana State). He dabbled in acting before he broke into print three years ago with a brace of unsolicited interviews in the New York Times and the late Herald Tribune's New York Magazine. Now the assignments threaten to inundate him: last week a treatment of Jean Seberg in the Times; next month interviews with Jane Wyman, Katharine Ross, Harper's Bazaar Editor China Machado; a reminiscence on Carson McCullers (an old personal friend); a film...
