...swing through the East and Midwest last week-"dangerous territory," in the words of Aide Dick Smith-he continued to draw big crowds. Some 12,000 heard him speak in Flint, Mich. The only disappointment was Chicago, where an eight-block motorcade through the Loop drew only 50,000; Nixon, by contrast, pulled at least 250,000 a month earlier. Almost everywhere there were hecklers, brandishing such signs as "If You Liked Hitler, You'll Love Wallace" and "Wallace Is Rosemary's Baby...
...that skyscrapers would be safe. With the ceiling abolished, the city's skyline slowly began to rise. The major impetus was supplied by the completion of a network of freeways during the '60s. They not only converge on the core of the city but form an irregular loop around it, making driving downtown comparatively easy. Most of the new skyscrapers have sprung up along the sector of the freeway loop that is closest to the downtown core. As a result, the center of downtown Los Angeles has shifted several blocks west, while the eastern part of the area...

Beginning his push in Chicago, where the Democratic cause had been staggered by police clubs the week before, Nixon received a warm reception from huge noontime crowds in the Loop. During his 45-minute ride through the heart of the city, confetti poured from office buildings. Signs screamed VIVA NIXON and DUMP HUMP-NIXON'S THE ONE. People jumped through police lines to shake the candidate's hand. While the excitement hardly matched a Robert Kennedy happening, Nixon, like Kennedy before him, suffered a scratched wrist and lost a cuff link...
