...Southern Democrats, after years of being disliked and distrusted by them, has two major reasons. After Johnson withdrew from the race, Humphrey seemed the most trustworthy and stable of the possible candidates, particularly in comparison with Robert Kennedy, who was feared and hated in the South. Also, the Democratic leadership in most Southern states has grown more moderate, partly because of the increasing Negro vote and partly because the Republicans and George Wallace have drawn off the most conservative elements. The remaining loyalists had nowhere to go but to Humphrey, who as Vice President had taken the trouble to visit...
Indonesia's Communist party was all but wiped out in the wave of anti-Communist slaughter that followed the party's abortive coup in 1965. Since the pogrom, Indonesia's leadership has warned time and again that the Com munists were plotting a comeback.

In three leap years, he approached the party as if it were a collection of voters on election eve instead of a coalition of interests about to hold a convention.

Unintentionally, perhaps, the school quickly earned a reputation as a refuge for well-to-do but offbeat students (total yearly cost: $3,400). Last year more than one-third of Franconia's students were either transfers or dropouts from other colleges. Teachers in refuge from more orthodox corners of academe were attracted by the innovative spirit at an almost completely faculty-run school...
