Over the weekend, a platoon of Rockefeller volunteers from Oregon traveled to Manhattan bearing a petition of 35,000 signatures urging his candidacy. Even George Hinman, Rockefeller's principal adviser, who previously had cautioned the Governor to avoid all primaries lest he capsize his cause and split the party, admitted that he must now campaign hard in Oregon. Curiously silent on the issue, however, was Michigan's erstwhile presidential candidate, George Romney, who surprisingly declined to endorse Rockefeller after his own withdrawal. Last week at a Lansing, Mich., press conference, he again stood mute. Would George back Nelson...
...reasons for Nixon's increased pace were clear. He had to maintain interest in the contest so unkindly rendered meaningless by George Romney's withdrawal. He needed more than ever to hold the spotlight lest it wander to the late-blooming Rockefeller write-in campaign. And looking beyond New Hampshire, he had to sustain the momentum that so far has put him ahead in the competition for the Republican nomination...
...Lest anyone get the impression that airline stewardesses are losing their allure, the Cantegril Country Club in Punta del Este, Uruguay, has just completed its second annual "Queen of the Airline Hostesses" contest, which drew 13 beauties from as far away as India.

Lindsay was not exactly blameless. He had not made adequate advance preparations for the strike, and his abrupt demand that Rockefeller mobilize the National Guard to collect the garbage presented serious problems.-But the Lindsay position, based on sound principle, had the public relations virtue of offering dramatic...
...Lest spirits lag, LaLanne (rhymes with pain) loads his arms with globs of suet, and grimaces: "This is what six pounds of fat looks like, girls! How would you like to carry that around with you all day? Well, that's just what you're doing if you're six pounds overweight." The best way to shed the suet? Out trots LaLanne's white German shepherd carrying the answer on a sign: IT'S GLAMOUR STRETCHER TIME! That cues a pitch for LaLanne's elastic exercise rope ($4), one of the 30 health...
