...least nine other Democrats and a single Republican, Senate Minority Leader Edward T. Hall, are vying for the job in a race that one of the candidates has likened to a cavalry charge. Agnew, returning last week from a Caribbean holiday and a visit with President Johnson in Washington, declared that he planned to steer clear, "as far as possible," of the impending donnybrook. Even Ambassador to France Sargent Shriver, a Maryland native, has been suggested as a possibility, but the Kennedy brother-in-law categorically disclaims interest.

Under his direction, the National Liberation Committee has moved quickly to consolidate its rule. It ordered statues and portraits of the imposing Keita torn down, the Red Guard militia abolished.

Complaining that faculty-student relations had become too informal, one coed protested: "I don't want my professor...
Knudsen has good reason to gloat. For the first time since 1935, Ford trucks are expected to outsell the longtime leader, Chevrolet. By Nov. 10, Ford had sold 562,000 trucks, against Chevrolet's 548,000; it expects to reach an alltime record of 650,000 by Jan. 1.
