Whether or not these studies are, as research director Leonard Fein puts it, "terribly relevant to action" depends on one's optimism. The poor have been exasperated precisely because they have seen none of the action this research is terribly relevant...
...Republican Pro Leonard Hall, who had expected to pour $3,600,000 into George Romney's battle for the nomination, says that preconvention bills for presidential aspirants will be four times as much as in 1964, mostly because there are half a dozen hopefuls in 1968 as opposed to two in that year. Candidates traditionally inflate their foes' spending and poor-mouth their own, but their counterclaims give a good indication of the money involved. McCarthy's aides maintain that the Kennedy camp is spending $3,500,000 in California on television alone; an Indiana...
Krulak had vowed to retire if he failed to win his fourth star by becoming Marine commandant, a job that went last year to Assistant Commandant Leonard F. Chapman.

Last year, only the failure of a $6 ball bearing with eight miles to go kept Parnelli Jones from winning the 500-mile race in Granatelli's revolutionary, turbine-powered STP Special. Last week, in an uncannily similar disaster, Joe Leonard was whooshing toward apparently certain victory in a new STP turbine when-just 22 miles from the finish-a $12 fuel-pump shaft sheared off and the engine died. Granatelli could only watch helplessly as New Mexico's Bobby Unser, driving a piston-engined Eagle, swept triumphantly past the checkered...
Unser modestly attributed his victory to luck. "Leonard," he said, "could have outrun me any time." But the baby-faced 34-year-old from Albuquerque had skill and daring going for him too. Unser's older brother Jerry was killed during a practice run at Indy in 1959; his younger brother Al narrowly escaped injury when he lost two wheels and slammed into the wall on the 41st lap of last week's race. Worried about Al, plagued by a broken transmission that forced him to stay in high gear and therefore cost him seconds accelerating away from...
