...have anything to say on the matter for some months. The fact is, he has been running all over the world-first to Western Europe and Russia, then to Asia for a 21-day swing through Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and South Viet Nam. Last week, Nixon was off to Latin America on the third leg of an international marathon, which, he tells friends, should make him the nation's "best-informed private citizen on world affairs." The trip will continue in Africa and the Middle East next month. By his own hopeful timetable, it should end with his nomination...

Weekly Republican: "Brigham Young agrees to confine himself to one woman, if every member of Congress will do the same." And they were not above publishing fiction as fact. Mark Twain got his start in just this way when he was working for the Virginia City (Nev.) Territorial Enterprise. In one grisly fabrication, he described how a man murdered his wife and nine children, inflicted a mortal wound on himself, then rode four miles...
